[video] Chrome 5 vs IE 9 Platform Preview (almost not fair)
- gubatron 16y agoAfter I read this, I had to try it for myself http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/20.. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/20... MacBook Pro Specs Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz 4GB Ram NVIDIAGeForce 9600M GT 512MB (not used by chrome since it's all at the application level, no hardware acceleration) AlienWare Specs Intel Core 2 2.16Gz 2 GB Ram GeForce Go 7600 256Mb Microsoft is getting it's DirectX Big Guns and trying to give us a glimpse of what the web will be once every other browser will be doing hardware accelerated graphics. Google better make a move quickly to not loose momentum with chrome.
- rbanffy 16y agoHow surprising: a benchmark that favors the company who wrote it... Using hardware accelerated graphics is clever, and the lack of proper OpenGL support out-of-the-box in current Windows may prove a hassle for contenders to attack multiple platforms. Ditching OpenGL really paid off for Microsoft.
