Google Sheets is getting a significant performance boost on Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers, and Gemini for Workspace integration for summarization, pre-built tables for easy starts and more.
Google today announced that Google Sheets, its popular web-based spreadsheet application, is receiving a major performance update. When you perform common spreadsheet operations like running formulas, creating pivot tables, adding conditional formatting, and more, calculations will be done by Sheets in the background. Google has now doubled the speed of calculations on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. This increase in speed will significantly improve your data-crunching experience on Google Sheets.
To achieve this improved performance, the Google Sheets team worked with the Chrome browser team. The calculations in Google Sheets are now powered by a new web technology called WasmGC (WebAssembly Garbage Collection).
