Presumably, Google is pushing separate downloads due to the much smaller file size necessary for the x86_64-only package-the universal binary contains both x86_64 and ARM applications, and weighs in at 165MiB to the Intel-only package's 96MiB. Google presents Chrome for download as either an x86_64 package or an M1 native option-which comes across as a little odd, since the M1 native version is actually a universal binary, which works on either M1 or traditional Intel Macs. (If you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks, the M1 is Apple's newest in-house-designed ARM silicon, which the company began selling in traditional form-factor laptops and Mac Minis for the first time this week.) The Google Chrome browser is now available as an Apple M1 native application, for those of you lucky enough to have M1 Mac Mini, Macbook Air, or Macbook Pro systems. That’s what Engadget’s Devindra Hardawar did when he reviewed the new M1 MacBook Air. Another option is to continue using the x86-optimized version of Chrome. Apple's first Apple Silicon-based Macs with its new M1 processor include the new fanless MacBook Air and updates to. Google said its team has identified a fix and will be making it available soon.
