Happy Hardware Accelerated Holidays

[HardOCP News]

Here are two new HTML5 experiences you can run in your browser, designed in the spirit of the holiday season and with hardware accelerated HTML5 in mind. Check out Santa’s Workshop, where the speed of your browser on your PC determines how many elves help pack Santa’s bag for the big night, and how fast they work. We built this experience using HTML5 technologies like integrated SVG graphics and HTML5 audio.

I had about 20 gift per min with my Core i5 laptop with a radeon 5650. LOL

 

[EchtoGammut]

187 Gifts per minute, but there isn't any kind of baseline given, so I no way of knowing what this means.

 

[devil22]

IE9 Beta:
~170 gifts a minute.
~1600 snowflakes.

Chrome stable (8.x):
~70 gifts a minute.
blizzard demo wouldn't run.

main rig, in sig.

 

[arnemetis]

They seem very dependent on resolution of your window. I can get anywhere between 3 and 4000 snowflakes depending on my window size. They should have a button to set it to 1024x768 or something so there would be a control for comparison purposes.

 

[DoggyDaddi]

LOL!!! I got 3 snowflakes using firefox.. too damn funny

 

[The Red]

the new benchmark tool .. PPM ... Presents Per Minuet

how long till we start seeing them in ppls sigs?

 

[Whisperfang]

3 snowflakes in plain FF... it wont run the other test. Downloading IE9 to test that.

 

[dr.kevin]

piece of shit

firefox 4 beta
penryn dualcore celeron mobile 2ghz

correction. 340 snowflakes

 

[timta2]

According to the results, IE rocks and all others suck. I'm sure that wasn't intentional.

 

[Disposed]

Oh look fancy advertisements for IE.

 

[halo000008]

0 for me, still haven't upgraded to beta software.

This runs like crap on MacOS. 1 elf! I tried in IE6 but it asks me if I want to open or save default.xml!

 

[WiLLiSTER]

Topped out at 13 elves doing 108ppm and 1105 snowflakes with Chrome8.

 

[pothb]

started out with 18 or so ppm but it wittled down to 10 ppm and zero snowflakes cuz it won't load.

Chrome with a dual core laptop from......... 8 years ago?

 

[Toonie]

Is this even consider a good benchmark?? LoL

192ppm
1523 snowflakes

the PPM & snowflakes still keeps on going up gradually from what i see

 

[jaffy]

IE9 has the most hardware acceleration. Pretty much what you would expect. I suppose you guys think FFTs and ray tracing in javascript is a more pertinent benchmark...

 

[GoldenTiger]
