The best benchmark.
Itâs flat out incorrect, and I certainly canât repro. Each browser has their own JS engine.
By âsame scoreâ I didnât mean down to the decimal point. Both had a best score (out of 2 or 3 runs) of 230.x.

Just for @wumpus :-) â maybe youâll find something interesting (or maybe itâs just a coincidence).
Disclaimer: Chrome took 4 tries to break 230 this time; it went 228, 227, 229, 230, if I recall. Safari nailed it the first time.
Unsurprisingly, I suppose, the $4999 entry-level (!) iMac Pro scores 211 in Chrome (Safari canât quite keep up, coming in at 208). This is with the 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon W, which tops out at 4.2 Ghz.
Wait are you running Speedometer ONE POINT OH? Donât do that:

I think this was part of my confusion here. See related topic.
I think most if not all of the benchmark runs in this thread are using the version linked at the top of this thread (and linked again in your post back in November), which is probably what youâd want for comparability anyway. Theyâre all pointing to http://browserbench.org/Speedometer/
Speedometer 2.0 gives vastly lower results (less than half). e.g. 85.2 on iPhone X and 97-111 on the iMac Pro (compared with ~172 on the X and a little over 200 on the iMac Pro using the original test).
I believe the old benchmark can be considered deprecated and obsolete.
