Chrome OS can run on Intel, AMD, and ARM-based processors also.
The only software application Chrome OS uses to run locally is Google Chrome, off-the-shelf. Even though the Chrome OS and Chrome browser share an auto-update feature which means if an update comes on the Chrome browser that same update will come on the Chrome OS too, at the same time.
