Browser Benchmarks

There is quite some history with benchmarks for browsers and JavaScript in particular. A part is the optimization over time, motivated by benchmarks, that in time got outdated or yielded the opposing effect. Benedikt Meurer wrote an interesting article about the optimization of JavaScript engines for specific types of benchmarks.

Kraken JavaScript Benchmark 1.1

Always wondered how fast this could get. i7 scored 1159 ms and iPhone 7 just 1352 ms.

Octane 2.0

Still one of my favourite ones, rather fast to execute. More recent ones got better as well. The i7-6820HW got 35218 points. The iPhone 7 reached 25875 points.

Speedometer 2.0

My old iPhone 7 scores 69.6. While my i7-6820HQ gets 85.6 runs/min.
