For this particular test, I’m running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with an AMD Phenom Quad-Core CPU at 2.5GHz with 4GB of RAM
According to Neowin.net: “Compared to other browsers, Internet Explorer 9 outperforms in JavaScript benchmark results. IE9 also includes hardware acceleration to help improve overall speed.”
This is, of course, not true as you can see in my results posted below. I’ll do more tests to see what happens.
