Browser Speed Test

Microsoft put together the Internet Explorer Test Drive site to showcase Internet Explorer 10's capabilities. So, since I have both of the latest versions of IE and Chrome (as of 4/17/2013), I thought I would give it a decidedly unscientific whirl on the machine I put together for my wife. I used the Mandlebrot Explorer's Fern Curl (from the link, click on "Presets" and choose "Fern Curl") since that required the most iterations per second for all browsers that Microsoft included in their data (and supposedly showed IE 10 as the clear winner):

 
IE 10 - 27.23 seconds with 8,141,850 iterations per second
Chrome - 69.88 seconds with 3,172,618 iterations per second

 But here are the snipping tool results from my superior (in relation to the one Microsoft used) machine:

 Internet Explorer 10:

Fine Detail: 8.97 seconds for a total of 221,702,566 iterations or 24,716,005 iterations per second (sort of fast).

  Chrome:

Fine Detail: 2.34 seconds for the same total of 221,702,566 iterations or 94,744,686 iterations per second  (383%  faster)

Nothing exceptionally meaningful, but I thought it was interesting.

And to be completely fair and demonstrably unbiased, I suppose I should again point out the obvious and explicitly state that my results were achieved on a superior computer to the platform used by Microsoft and completely different (newer) versions of the browsers than those used by Microsoft to attain their data above.

BTW, I went ahead and purchased  a Noctua nh-d14 for my next computer build. I'll be posting more about that soon.
