Have you ever wondered why there are 32 bit and 64 bit versions on chrome? So what is the difference if running 32 bit or running 64 bit? Let's learn about this issue with WebTech360 .
Why do I need to check my Chrome version is 32 bit or 64 bit ?
In fact, information about checking whether your Chrome version is running 32-bit or 64-bit is also quite important, currently on Windows operating systems, 64-bit operating systems are popular, but there are still machines in use. 32 bit version as well as Android is still running on 32 bit, until recently updated version, Google has started to convert this web browser from 32 bit to 64 bit to improve speed.
Basically both Windows 32bit and Windows 64bit are operating systems to use normally. The difference between them 2 is simply the ability to utilize RAM.
Specifically, 64-bit Windows can work with RAM from 3.2GB (or lower depending on the operating system) to 128GB, while the 32-bit version only receives a maximum RAM of 3.2GB only. So, if you install Windows 32-bit version on your PC and plug in 8GB of RAM, the amount of space received is still only 3.2GB, the remainder will not be used.
So when your software runs in 32 bit, that means they will not make the most of the amount of Ram you are using, and 64 bit will be better because the more bits we will store more computational values. more math. Similarly, Google Chrome will also improve speed when upgrading to 64-bit version because this is a Ram-hungry browser, if it is limited in RAM, there will be an annoying crash for users. That is also the reason why PC users often experience Chrome lag when running the previous 32-bit version.
Instructions to check Google Chrome software running 64 bit or 32 bit on computers and phones.
To be able to check if your Google Chrome is running 64 bit or 32 bit is very simple.
Very easy right, the rest you just need to check in the first line whether the version you are using is 32 bit or 64 bit. In fact, almost all Windows-based machines at the moment are equipped with 64-bit, so this check is just to make sure.
The version on Android phones is different. Because Google Chrome is still planning to switch its version of Chrome browser from 32 bit to 64 bit. So not all Android configurations will be updated to the 64-bit version. In addition, according to the information, this switch will only appear on 10th generation Android versions and higher. That means if you use Android 9 operating system, it will not be converted to 64 bit.
To check whether the Google Chrome software running on your Android is 32-bit or 64-bit is very simple, similar to that on a PC. you just need to turn on chrome and then type in the URL as follows: chrome://version.

Currently in the writer's test, the user's Google Pixel 4 is still running Google Chrome in 32-bit architecture while the OnePlus 8T has been upgraded to 64-bit. The PC versions are all running the 64-bit version. Surely there will be a 32 bit vs 64 bit comparison soon.
