Benchmarks: Google Chrome
Published: 04 Sep 2008
Individual SunSpider JavaScript benchmarks reveal the particular strengths and weaknesses of the browsers. Although the overall scores for Google Chrome and Safari 4.0 Developer Preview are very similar, there are big differences in the individual tests.
For example, Google Chrome completed the 'controlflow' script nearly five times faster than Apple's browser. Chrome is also much quicker than Safari 4.0 in the 'crypto' test. However, when it comes to the 'date' script Safari 4.0 is nearly 4.5 times faster than Google Chrome, which is in fact the slowest of the six browsers in this test.
Shorter bars are better. Test platform: 3GHz Intel X9650, 2GB DDR3/1333 RAM, Vista SP1
