Chrome 32-bit and 64-bit scored identically.
 

Is Chrome 64-bit Worth Using?

Chrome 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Windows are so close in terms of speed and webpage rendering performance that it’s hard to really call one a clear winner over the other. In the end, it comes down to other capabilities of the browsers – stability and security.
We have to take Google’s word on the stability. Testing that sort of thing takes an awful long time and is beyond the scope of this article.
The security aspect is definitely better in Chrome 64-bit. By being able to utilize 64-bit processing, Chrome 64-bit is better able to protect against attacks. An analogy would be having a new machine gun that shoots twice as fast as the old machine gun. 64-bit processing is just that much faster and can do more.
Based on stability and security, that should be enough reason to upgrade to Chrome 64-bit for your Windows 64-bit computer. Just don’t expect to be blown away with speed increases.
