Opera has released an Arm-Optimized version of the browser with support from Microsoft's App Assure team and Qualcomm Technologies Inc. This new build of the browser delivers over twice the speed on Arm-based Windows systems, and arrives perfectly ahead of the awaited release of products powered by Snapdragon®? X Elite Platform from Qualcomm Technologies. Users will now be able to experience a native version of Opera - embracing the next generation of web browsing on Arm architecture.

With the upcoming Arm-based processors for PC just around the corner, Opera is committed to deliver the best possible experience on all Windows devices available. This ensures that users have a cutting-edge choice for their desktop browser while using their PCs powered by Snapdragon. The Snapdragon-optimized version of the Opera browser delivers lightning-fast performance on the fastest machines available on the market.

Harnessing the power of Arm architecture, it also amplifies Opera's AI capabilities, bringing users the most intelligent and responsive browser yet. Machines powered by Snapdragon offer significantly better battery life, keeping browsing longer on a single charge. This game-changing advantage comes from the power-efficient design of the processors.

Their unique reduced instruction set (RISC) is optimized for streamlined performance resulting in a more efficient system that provides longer battery life and cooler operating temperatures. The Snapdragon- optimized version of Opera will be first available on the developer stream of the browser, and will allow early adopters to try it out on the new Windows devices that come with this Arm-based processor.
