It has only been a couple of months since the last Big Browser Benchmark but there has been enough changes to warrant a re-running the tests. There’s also a new benchmark test to put the browsers through their paces.
\nLet’s pit the leading browsers against four of the toughest benchmark tests available to see which one is triumphant. Here are the browsers that will be put through their paces:
\nChrome 24
\nChrome 23 (left in the listing for comparison with newer release)
\nFirefox 18
\nFirefox 16 (left in the listing for comparison with newer release)
\nOpera 12
\nInternet Explorer 9 (32-bit)
\nInternet Explorer 10 (32-bit)
\nSafari 5
\nHere are the tests that the browsers will face:
\nSunSpider JavaScript 0.9.1: A JavaScript benchmark developed by Apple’s WebKit team in 2007 with a focus on real-world problem solving;
\nV8 Benchmark Suite: A pure JavaScript benchmark used by Google to tune the V8 JavaScript engine;
\nPeacekeeper: FutureMark’s JavaScript test which stress-tests features such as animation, navigation, forms and other commonly utilized tasks;
\nKraken 1.0: Another JavaScript benchmark developed by Mozilla. This is based on SunSpider but features crucial benchmarking enhancements;
\nRoboHornet: A Google-led open-source browser benchmark.
\nOctane: Google’s new benchmark, based on the V8 test suite.
\nAll testing carried out on a Windows 7 (32-bit) machine, running a P8600 2.4GHz dual-core processor, 4GB RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card.
