64bit Google Chrome version
64bit Google Chrome version
Google unveiled the stable 64-bit Chrome for Windows 7 and 8 in June. Until now, the 64-bit release remained unavailable in a reliable form. Today, they announced the stable version as part of the Chrome 37 update. As anticipated, this version offers quicker browsing, greater stability, and enhanced security. The company highlights better media handling, such as the VP9 codec for YouTube HD videos, promising a 15% improvement in decoding speed. Beta testing results also show the 64-bit rendering engines are nearly twice as stable compared to their 32-bit counterparts.
No thought, no idea what it does. But when I shared this, it consumed up to 0.4% of my CPU (specs in sig) and 80MB of RAM.
Very distinct from Canary. Performance varies noticeably—canary shows higher CPU usage and more noticeable spikes, while this version runs lighter. Both use similar RAM amounts, but canary experiences more frequent load variations and higher idle consumption.
The only issues I've faced are with Barclays' website - it doesn't like mine. Otherwise, everything has worked smoothly for me.
I gave it a shot and didn’t notice much change. It might be due to the short testing time or the plugin not supporting 64-bit browsers, so I switched back to 32-bit now.
64-bit can offer performance benefits and may run more smoothly. Installing a 64-bit version over a 32-bit one can help, especially if you experience issues with tabs getting lost. Many tabs open multiple times, so a more robust system might improve stability. Chrome could also provide better options for reopening instances.
