Discord’s long‑awaited native Windows‑on‑ARM client has finally dropped the curtain. After a year of quiet development and a two‑year wait, the platform’s official site now offers a direct download for ARM64, signaling the company’s commitment to the growing ARM ecosystem.
Although Discord hasn’t announced a formal release date yet, the website already lets users pick between x86 and ARM64 builds. Unsure whether your system is running ARM‑native software? Open Task Manager, navigate to the Details tab, and inspect the Architecture column—Microsoft is also polishing Task Manager with new NPU‑related features.
While Windows ARM processors can emulate most x86 applications, a truly native Discord client delivers tangible gains: smoother performance, reduced latency, and lower power draw—critical advantages for mobile‑first users.
Microsoft has unveiled a fresh line of Surface PCs powered by Intel’s latest Core Ultra 300 Series processors, signaling a significant upgrade for the brand’s premium lineup. In a complementary move, the company confirmed that future consumer‑grade Surface devices will soon incorporate Snapdragon X2 chips, hinting at a broader strategy to diversify its hardware portfolio.
If you’re looking to use Discord on a Windows machine, the application remains readily accessible for download via its official website. While it is also listed in the Microsoft Store, the current store entry does not specify support for ARM64 architectures, which may affect users on newer Surface models.
