Internet Explorer 10 is fast and fluid, and
built from the ground up for real-world performance. Growing evidence shows
Internet Explorer as the fastest web browser on Windows 8.
1. Earlier today, New Relic
published additional evidence showing that Internet Explorer 10 is the fastest Windows browser. New Relic monitors page views for thousands of Internet sites, and found that IE10 and IE9 have the “
fastest browser response time on Windows, with IE10 showing a notable increase over IE9.”
2. On September 24, 2012, Tom’s Hardware
ran a story on RoboHornet, a
set of open-sourced micro-benchmarks released with Google participation on
Github. Not surprisingly, they found
“Internet Explorer 10 smashes the competition, performing 37% better than even the latest version of Google’s Chrome.”
Our team built a demo using RoboHornet to
run the micro-benchmark suite in the context of a real-world scenario, releasing the demo as
RoboHornet Pro. We believe that this type of real world testing is much more representative of web browser performance
than micro-benchmarks.
