Question How fast is your browser?

[Magic Carpet]

This benchmark simulates user actions for adding, completing, and removing to-do items using multiple examples in TodoMVC. Each example in TodoMVC implements the same todo application using DOM APIs in different ways. Some call DOM APIs directly from ECMAScript 5 (ES5), ECMASCript 2015 (ES6), ES6 transpiled to ES5, and Elm transpiled to ES5. Others use one of eleven popular JavaScript frameworks: React, React with Redux, Ember.js, Backbone.js, AngularJS, (new) Angular, Vue.js, jQuery, Preact, Inferno, and Flight. Many of these frameworks are used on the most popular websites in the world, such as Facebook and Twitter. The performance of these types of operations depends on the speed of the DOM APIs, the JavaScript engine, CSS style resolution, layout, and other technologies.

Images aren't necessary, but please state your cpu speed. The web browser of your choice. Mine is Edge 83. Thank you.

Safari scoring really well on macOS seems to imply strong browser optimizations (either in the browser alone or the browser exploiting M1 / Apple Silicon) or maybe improved L2 cache, as IIRC, Speedometer 2.0 isn't very multi-threaded (at least beyond a certain #; eg here with Threadripper 16C vs 32C).

Safari uses JavscriptCore which is thought to be faster than V8 used in Chrome:

Bun — A fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime

Bundle, install, and run JavaScript & TypeScript — all in Bun. Bun is a new JavaScript runtime with a native bundler, transpiler, task runner, and npm client built-in.

iPhone 6S Plus in Safari gets stuck on the Todo screen and doesn't go further even after a few minutes of waiting.

Overall seems to be a much better showing (relatively) for Firefox than the old version.

With a 5900X on Ubuntu Linux with Chrome version 122.0.6261.111

I get 13.2 +- 0.82.

Can you run Chrome or Edge to see how it compares?

Thanks, it is surprising to see Firefox perform better. I ran it myself (after turning off all extensions this time) and got the following results:

	Firefox v123	Chrome v122	Edge v122
Ubuntu	17.3	21.4	Not tested
Windows	21.5	Not Tested	20.2

So on Ubuntu, Firefox is still behind, but on Windows, it seems to be just as fast or faster. At least on Zen 3.

Surfing on the m3 is very obviously slower than the M1, but it's still manageable in 2024.

I surf in Firefox on the i7-4770 that got a similar score. It's very usable. It's actually impressive that your m3 scored that much. What are you feeding it? Nuclear fusion generated current?

maybe skylake wasn't all that bad

Well, it does turbo from 1.2 GHz up to 3.0 GHz.

Note that the stock chip's base frequency is 1.1 GHz, but Apple ran it at 1.2 GHz. They both max out at 3.0 GHz though.

Kaby Lake

BTW, I specifically waited for Kaby Lake before buying, because it has hardware 4K 10-bit h.265 HEVC support.
