[Benchmark] Iron vs Chrome vs "the rest"

[Tendency]

Did a couple of benchmarks in Peacekeeper and SunSpider using:
- Iron v7.0.520.0 Stable
- Chrome v7.0.517.41 Stable

Peacekeeper: (http://service.futuremark.com/peacekeeper)
Overall summary:


Iron detailed:


Chrome detailed:



SunSpider: (http://www2.webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0 ... pider.html)



Conclusion:
Eventhough they run on (exactly) the same Chromium engine, SRWare's Iron seems to be faster. Good job SRWare, keep it up like this and try to get a hold of that number 1 position!

Note: These tests have NOT been done by professionals, but on the same hardware. (i5-450M @ 2.4GHz, 4GB DDR3, 500GB 7.200RPM, Radeon HD5870 1GB DDR5)

Thanks!

Always enjoy seeing these type of threads. Could you please always include in your tests the latest versions of IE, Firefox and Opera. Thanks Again.

[Tendency]

Well I already tested them before, but I will test the latest Netscape and Opera versions in my next test.

Here's the whole screenshot:

Excellent Tendency - Much Appreciated

[keliori]

I'd love to see you include Opera 11 on next benchmark. Good job chrome


oops...Opera is my main browser lol, but like both Opera and Iron, and also K-meleon

[Tendency]

Alright another update, some people made requests so I did what I could do.

Changes 27-october-2010:
- Opera 10.63 Stable
- Opera 11 (build 1029) Alpha
- K-Meleon 1.5.4 Stable
- K-Meleon 1.6.0a4 Alpha
- Safari 5.0.2 Stable

[curlin]

Thank You again

Impressive increase by opera.

[Tendency]

Yeah indeed, I am sometimes wondering what makes me stick with Firefox haha. Soon I will test the latest Firefox beta release.

If there's anyone else that wants to see an untested browser tested, ring a bell!

Can you tray with K-Meleon-NX-1.9.1.12. The fast NX No-chrome concept is used here, and you can download it fron here:

The profiles folder will be created inside the K-Meleon main folder, and should leave profiles from other versions untouched.
Note : This version works only if you have the files mfc71u.dll, msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll in your system or in your K-Meleon folder. If you need these files, look for them in the internet.
Regards.

Here is a little other benchmark made with the latest versions of the browsers I use. Looks like Firefox are still working on their speed in v4, and Iron is tied with Opera 11 alpha 1029.

Specs:
- Phenom 2 X4 Mobile N930
- Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1GiB VRAM with Catalyst 10.8
- 4 GiB RAM
- Windows 7 Enterprise x64 up-to-date
