One cannot find Safari 8 without loading the new OS to my knowledge.

But won't most of Safari 8's under the hood improvements come in a Safari 7.1 update?

We can't really say.

Probably?

Or maybe Apple is trying to herd everyone to the next release, so security is all 7.1 will get.

Google claims the 64-bit version is faster, more stable, more secure, and has better memory management.

It'll be more secure and have better memory management, sure. But faster? Hell, even 32-bit browsers scream on ahead and load up information in less than a split second. While it might officially be faster according to benchmarks, it won't make that huge of a difference in practice.

The biggest advantage won't be speed, but workload. 64-bit browsers will be able to handle a lot more open tabs running data heavy webpages with more grace than a 32-bit browser would.

i hope the stable version gets 64-bit soon

I wish I could use Safari but the video portion of AdBlock just doesn't work so for me it's Chrome or Firefox.
