A little correction, a 32 bit processor process a 32bit "word", meaning when you define number ONE in 32bit word it will look like this:
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001
In 64 bit, number ONE looks like this:
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001
Does it moves twice more data? YES. Does it equal to twice as fast (whatever it means, be it twice as fast as processing speed, or twice as fast in transferring data)? Definitely NO. 64 bit extension is a capability to understand a HUGE amount of data, a capability to address a lot more memory addresses, it's just "a lot more".
