As an extra bonus we also include Windows arm64 “architecture preview” packages for those of you with suitable hardware. These builds are not yet part of our automated test system and have only been lightly tested on one piece of hardware. Serious issues may exist and should be expected. Nonetheless, any testing and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

These processors are designed to compete with the likes of Intel, AMD, and Apple’s M1 chips, boasting 12 high-performance cores and impressive clock speeds. The promise of better performance on ARM architecture is tantalizing, but Vivaldi cautions that this version is in its infancy. Expect some bumps along the road.
If you’re someone who’s always looking for the best performance and efficiency from your devices, this update could be a game-changer. Imagine your browser running smoother and faster, making your online experience more enjoyable.
The release of ARM-compatible versions by both Google Chrome and Vivaldi signals a growing interest in catering to ARM-based hardware. This isn’t just about making apps run; it’s about optimizing them to take full advantage of the hardware’s capabilities. And with major PC makers like Acer, ASUS, Dell, and Lenovo gearing up to release notebooks equipped with the Snapdragon X Elite chip in 2024, the future looks promising. The tech world is clearly gearing up for an ARM-powered revolution.
