“Firefox 3.6 has just come out and it’s great. There’s
only one problem. Google has released the new version of Chrome,
version 4, and it’s even better.“This new version retains its speed lead over other browsers. I
tested it on one of my Dell 530S desktop PCs. This PC is powered by
a 2.2GHz Intel Pentium E2200 dual-core processor with an 800MHz
front-side bus. It has 4GB of RAM, a 500GB SATA (Serial ATA) drive,
and an Integrated Intel 3100 GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator)
chipset and was running Windows XP SP3. On this machine, Chrome
ripped by Firefox 3.6 on the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark test
with a mark of 530.8 milliseconds compared to Firefox 3.6’s 1007.0
milliseconds.”
