Opera on Snapdragon, a match for AI
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 you 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. To access this build of Opera you’ll need to download the developer stream of the browser on a Snapdragon-powered Windows device.
