Benchmarks: Google Chrome
Published: 04 Sep 2008
The V8 benchmark comes from Google and includes five individual tests, which Google developers have optimised for the Chrome JavaScript engine.
Google Chrome, as expected, takes first place, with a score of 2,542. As with the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark, the runner-up is Safari 4.0 Developer Preview. However, Chrome is much further ahead in these Google-optimised tests: Safari 4.0's score is 468, making Chrome 5.4 times quicker. Opera 9.52 (373), Firefox 3.0.1 (279) and Safari 3.1.2 (255) come next. As in the SunSpider tests, Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 is a long way behind the field.
Longer bars are better. Test platform: 3GHz Intel X9650, 2GB DDR3/1333 RAM, Vista SP1
