Today, we are pleased to introduce MotionMark, a new graphics benchmark for web browsers.
We’ve seen the web grow in amazing ways, making it a rich platform capable of running complex web apps, rendering beautiful web pages, and providing user experiences that are fast, responsive, and visibly smooth. With the development and wide adoption of web standards like CSS animations, SVG, and HTML5 canvas, it’s easier than ever for a web author to create an engaging and sophisticated experience. Since these technologies rely on the performance of the browser’s graphics system, we created this benchmark to put it to the test.
We’d like to talk about how the benchmark works, how it has helped us improve the performance of WebKit, and what’s in store for the future.
Some of the tests are pretty enough to be screensavers.
