"HTML5" versus Flash: Animation Benchmarking
- radley 16y agoPost is almost a year old (Mar 22, 2010).
- pedrokost 16y agoWhich makes the benchmark almost false. During the past year browsers have greatly been improved and their performance boosted.
- AndrewDucker 16y agoIs there a good, more recent, benchmark?
- antimatter15 16y agoI'm getting different results: HTML is getting 66.37FPS. SVG is getting 120.67FPS, Canvas is getting 108.76FPS and Flash is getting a mere 52.96FPS at the default number of particles. I'm using Chrome 10.0.642.2 dev on Ubuntu Linux 10.10 with the window at 1101x836 pixels (I'm pretty certain the window size also will have a large effect on the fps). This is pretty weird as the article notes "It did actually surprise me how performant Canvas is and it also surprised me how crappy SVG is.", where my results show SVG being by far the fastest.
- pedrokost 16y agoI have had similar results, however once I enabled shadows, Flash was the best. It looks like Flash is solid for both simple and complex animations, however the other technologies are great for very simple animations, but their performance greatly decreases when more effects are added (ie shadows).
- bconway 16y agoNot too surprising, the article is from last March and tested Chrome 4.

- olalonde 16y agoUbuntu 10.04: - Chrome Canvas 70 FPS - Flash 45 FPS
