My scores are properly hold back by the old hardware i have. I7 980X oc to 4.4 GHz. But it can still clearly be seen the difference between supported browsers and internet explore that no longer gets updates. I have not used any plug ins or other third party software. All browser are as they come stock.

Internet explore.

EGDE browser

Firefox

I don't even have a small idea about this but i did it anyway

Look like this thread got moved. Sorry about that folks.

Well everyone wanted all of the benchmark threads condensed into a benchmark section on the forums.

Seems to favor Chrome.

Or, in other words, Chrome is just faster at the functions this benchmark uses.

Chrome on my 8700K rig:

actually i never pay attention on that
but here is the score

 

[Voltaj .45 ACP]

3700x stock chrome latest

Octane Score: 55182

Opera latest

Octane Score: 54737

weird opera was better today with 2450m but amd likes chrome?

chromium based edge beta

Octane Score: 52864

Firefox latest

Octane Score: 38339 wtf?

It should be noted that Octane 2.0 is retired. Some good replacements can be found below;

Because Octane 2.0 is older than the new browserbench.org benchmarks, it sometimes makes sense to run Octane 2.0, especially if you want to compare with older CPUs. JetStream 2 was only introduced in 2019, so for countless older CPUs you will find little or no benchmarks with JetStream 2.

You can see that I now score more than 30000 in Octane 2.0. I can easily compare this to how certain CPUs used to score in this benchmark: https://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph11859/91866.png

For example I can learn that my old Intel i3-3240 in 2022 is almost as fast as an i7 6800K so many years ago, or faster than the i7 5930K so many years ago. Just looking at the browserbench.org benchmarks makes it harder for me to get these kinds of insights.

Good points! Far be it for me to tell anyone that just because something is older doesn't mean it's not useful! Using things as long as and if they're useful regardless of age is one of my technological mantras!

Any thoughts on what browser benchmarks to use in future CPU reviews?

In the past I've used Octane, Kraken and WebXPRT

Leaning towards replacing Kraken with JetStream 2

Jetstream seems to test nearly everything a browser can do computationally, renders very detailed results and it includes the Octane runtimes so you could omit the Octane tests as well. Could be a good move if that is what you want out of the benchmark.

Question, have you looked at Speedometer as well? The tests it runs cover more user-action oriented tasks than raw computational data.

The five most 'useful' browser benchmarks currently are probably:
1. Speedometer 2.0 ( For comparing browsers’ JavaScript performance, Apple’s Speedometer 2.0 benchmark is the most reflective of the real world, and most broadly used today.)
2. JetStream 2 (As far as I know this benchmark is more extensive than Speedometer 2.0)
3. Basemark Web 3.0 (Few or no other tools measure WebGL 2.0)
4. WebXPRT 3 (Its workloads reflect the types of web-based tasks that people are likely to encounter on a daily basis. I don't know if the fourth version is as reliable, some browsers get stuck in version 4)
5. MotionMark (Gives an idea of the graphics performance)

All five of these benchmarks are of great importance. Specifically for CPU performance, MotionMark and Basemark Web 3.0 are not very important.

Another thing to consider is the SilverBench as it is also very useful for testing CPUs.

New list

- Speedometer 2.0
- JetStream2
- WebXPRT (haven't looked into version 3 vs 4, but I'll be testing with a single Chrome version with updates disabled)

Don't forget Firefox. Lot's of us who actually read those benchmarks still use it.

I can only test one browser. I use Firefox all day and hate Chrome. Chrome has the higher market share, so I'll use that

The CPU test suite is like 40 additional benchmarks, so gotta make compromises in terms of run time/complexity
