Google Octane benchmark tests JavaScript in the real world, scales to mobile sizes

Google Octane benchmark tests JavaScript in the real world, scales to mobile sizes

We're all too familiar with JavaScript tests like Sunspider - we use them all the time to gauge browser speeds on phones and tablets. Most of these have little direct correlation to the sites we're visiting on our devices, however, and seldom acknowledge that we're testing with anything but a desktop. Google wants to drag the experience into this decade with its new Octane benchmark. The collection of tests uses real-life examples of JavaScript code - who knew web-based Game Boy emulators were so popular. - to generate results for a simple, more-is-better scoring system.
