From InfoWorld: Google has promoted the 64-bit version of Chrome for Windows to the browser's more stable Beta distribution channel, and boosted Chrome for OS X to 64-bit on the more preliminary Canary and Dev builds.
Chrome for Windows 64-bit shifted to Beta on July 30 after about two months on the less-polished Canary and Dev lines. Google has touted the 64-bit version as more stable and faster than its 32-bit predecessor, which has been the Chrome standard since its 2008 debut.
In June, Google claimed the 64-bit browser was 25 percent faster in rendering graphics and multimedia content, and boasted of "a marked increase in stability ... over 32-bit Chrome," with half the crashes.
Chrome 64-bit for Windows runs only on Windows 7 and Windows 8.
When Google announced Chrome for Windows 64-bit in June, it said it was working on a 64-bit version for OS X, the Mac's operating system, but did not provide a release timetable.
