IE is not optimized for Webkit and Gecko benchmarks :/ PS4 browser was panned in all reviews whereas IE-Xbox has been praised in 3 reviews I have seen.

trooper11 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 That's weird. Most of the reviews remarked that IE was faster than the ps4 browser, but these tests say different. I guess I'll see for myself Friday. Thief000 and SecretAgentMan 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna take all these results (PS4 & One) with a pinch of salt. Both Sony and Microsoft will push updates that will make the browsers much better... and I suspect this will be done sooner rather than later...

I guess I'll see for myself Friday. I am wondering if the XBO IE is running only on two cores reserved for the WinRT partition and PS4 might be throwing the entire hardware at it because there is no real side-by-side multi-tasking there.

notchinese Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Definitely something wrong with those numbers. That scores worse than the first gen Surface RT. (So does the PS4 for that matter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt the dashboard is given full resources even when out of game due to app optimisation and complications. Considering IE11 smashes every other desktop browser on the same tests, its quite clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper11 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Who cares about the browsers tbh? We all have laptops, cellphones and Tablets :/ Browsers can be used for accessing media services that don't provide a native app. So it can be a decent backup option.

Considering IE11 smashes every other desktop browser on the same tests, its quite clear. Yeah, that sounds reasonable. IE is installed on the Windows OS side and we all know that OS only gets access to up to 2 cores of cpu resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLH Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Conflicting views. So is it optimized or not? Ofcourse it will be optimised, but considering a full game can run in the background while you've got the dash open and it keeps the last game played in a paused state. Then it will only be given a fixed amount of resources which will be minimal compared to the full system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think anandtech (One of the biggest hardware/tech review sites on the web) would leave a game running in the background while conducting a browser test?

JonnyLH Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 So its true that the browser is slower on the Xbox One? Ofcourse its going to be. I've never said otherwise. When its got the fraction of the power to work with. Run IE11 on a desktop PC and it nails those tests, they're the same browsing engine. It's obvious, I don't get why people are questioning it.

Showan Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I've never tested the browser on a PS4, but the browser on the One is good and responsive enough to me. And being able to use my G-Nex or iPad2 as a keyboard in smartglass mode is a welcomed experience IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Conflicting views. So is it optimized or not?How are those posts conflicting? - Microsoft never optimizes IE for synthetic benchmarks. You will have Chrome/Firefox beating IE11 handily in many such but when it comes to actual websites, IE11 leaves both of them in the dust. - It is possible that XBO-IE is running in the WinRT partition and thus not getting full CPU resources like the PS4 browser possibly is. (notice how many times I said possible because this is a guess based on known info) About Anandtech not mentioning this - it won't be the first time they missed something important. They recently wondered why Windows 8.1 on MacBookAir was such a battery hog compared to OS X Mavericks. I can tell why without thinking, they still don't AFAIK.

Crimson Rain Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm sure PS4 browser will be left in the dust for (at least) more than half of these tests... http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notchinese Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Seeing as I have both consoles...performance wise there is absolutely no difference in the web browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I wouldn't expect much if any noticeable differences, its just funny watching people argue over it which is why I bothered to post here.
