We must also remember that Chrome already has a version designed for ARM processors. It is also a Beta, a development version, which provides a notable improvement in performance, by decreasing the CPU load compared to the emulated x86 version. And Microsoft doesn't want to be left behind with Edge.

Microsoft has released the native version of Edge for ARM64 processors Chromium-based Edge arrives, how could it be otherwise, first in Beta form thanks to the Canary Channel, the one that receives the most updates and most frequently of the three that the platform has.

This is an important step that makes Edge easier to use, as before, ARM-based machines had to pull emulation to use the new Edge.The result obtained, although not bad, is not the same as an application developed ex professo for the platform.

The announcement, made within the Twitter channel of the Edge development platform, has as its objective that there is a good base of opinions and comments that have facilitated the development of said version, minimizing the possible failures that they can show up. In short, get users to start generating feedback .

Microsoft has not confirmed if the ARM version of Edge will also arrive in parallel with the global release of Edge, which will arrive for all public on January 15, 2020, for both macOS and Windows 10.
