Project Spartan browser benchmarks: pretty solid performance

A technical preview of Windows 10 was made available for download and now benchmarks of Microsoft’s new Internet Explorer Project Spartan web browser are available.

Done by AnandTech, the benchmark results reveal that Project Spartan is noticeably faster than Internet Explorer 11 and in some tests even outruns Chrome and Firefox.

Project Spartan is put JavaScript and HTML5 tests including Sunspider, Octane, Kraken, Oor Online, WebXPRT and HTML5Test. You can check out the results from the testing below.

Benchmark	IE Old	IE Experimental	Chrome 40	Firefox 35	Percentage Change
Sunspider (lower is better)	149.7ms	144.6ms	260.9ms	220.1ms	3.4%
Octane 2.0 (higher is better)	9861	17928	17474	16508	81.8%
Kraken 1.1 (lower is better)	3781.2ms	2077.5ms	1992.8ms	1760.4ms	45.1%
WebXPRT (higher is better)	913	1083	1251	1345	18.6%
Oort Online (higher is better)	1990	2170	5370	3900	9%
HTML5Test (higher is better)	339	344	511	449	1.5%

In the JavaScript oriented Kraken and Google Octane 2.0, Project Spartan scores a massive boost by 45.1% and 81.8%, respectively. It comes a lot closer to Google Chrome than Internet Explorer has ever been. However, the HTML5 compatibility of the new browser still needs a lot of work as it comes at 344 points, whereas Chrome and Firefox have 511 and 449 points, respectively.

Microsoft is still heavily developing the browser, so it’s bound to become better as Windows 10 travels the road to its final build.
