IE8 to beat Chrome and FireFox, Microsoft Says

Microsoft has released a new report with an attractive title which goes like “Measuring Browser Performance: Understanding issues in benchmarking and performance analysis.”

This report is about 14 pages long and it went over a number of things about limitations and benchmarking. Anyway, this test shows that Microsoft outperforms FireFox 3.05 and Chrome 1.0, which I’ve never seen, personally, on any other website on the Internet.

As you can see, IE8 beats the two third-party browsers in 12 website (I never thought IE was that fast, just see IE7 when running 4 tabs!!!), Chrome placed second with 9 websites, and FireFox fell last with only 4 websites. In case you missed that, IE loaded Mozilla’s website faster that FireFox does, and on the other hand FireFox gets done with Microsoft’s page faster than IE.

The report is available publicly at the Microsoft Download Center in PDF and XPS formats, so check it out if you have the time for reading through 14 pages.

The weird thing here, as if they didn’t mean to, Microsoft is releasing this report prior to the release of their browser which will be available at the end of this month.

Alright readers, let me now who will be switching to IE8 :)))
