Cons and pros of using 64 bit branch?

I heard you have faster performance, and I can also use media player on 64 bit branch.. But I'm wondering if there's any downsides to using 64 bit branch, because this seems too good to be true.

I´m not an expert but i think the only downside is that if your computer doesn´t meet the system requirements for it , it might screw your performance and break visual effects

It has multicore rendering by default which gives you a huge fps boost if you have a pc with 2 or more cores. Downside is that you can't play it if you have 32-bit machine (But you still can enable multicore rendering with gmod_mcore_test 1 even on the 32-bit branch.)
