Refresh in 32 bit vs 64 bit version

Is there a difference when refreshing with 32 bit vs 64 bit version of Power BI desktop? I am currently using 32 bit version, and refresh takes a long time. Would 64 bit version speed up the refresh time?

Performance is better in 64 bit, especially if you have larger data models.
