Chrome 10 to be faster than IE9
Faster browsing and speed is our wish alwasy and now Google launched the first beta version of Chrome 10, touting JavaScript speed advancements, synchronization improvements, and a shift from a window-based Preferences menu to a tab-based menu. Chrome 10.0.648.82 is available as a beta channel release for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows.
Google claims its browser delivers 66% faster JavaScript performance than the current Chrome 9 stable channel version. The company attributes the acceleration to a new version of its V8 – Crankshaft JavaScript engine.
Chrome 10 Beta also includes a preliminary implementation of GPU acceleration for video, which allows more efficient processor utilization and better battery life. In addition, it adds support for password synchronization across multiple computers and its Preferences menu interface will now open in a separate tab, just like any other Web page, rather than as distinct interface window.
At its recent introduction of Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate, Microsoft made much of the fact that its browser comes with full hardware acceleration while Chrome only includes partial hardware acceleration. Tests Microsoft designed to demonstrate this feature made Chrome 9 look significantly slower than IE9.
However, other tests suggest the opposite. Life Hacker, for example, tested the recent crop of browsers and found Chrome 10 to be faster than IE9 in other areas, like JavaScript performance. Firefox and Opera prevailed in a different set of speed tests.
