Well, Stockfish is handicapped in 32-bit...

[Vinvin]

Not a lot, may be 10-15 elo points.

[ernest]

If for Stockfish, 64-bit is +25%, then you get +20 to +25 Elo

[Graham Banks]

Well, Stockfish is handicapped in 32-bit...

We all know that Stockfish is the strongest engine in this field, but such results can happen over 44 rounds.

Cheers,
Graham.
