It's not just Apple that is benefiting from the new performance of its M1 chip. Indeed, according to Ars Technica, Google has released a version of Chrome that works natively under M1 which would double the performance of the browser. When they were launched, Macs equipped with the M1 chip were not compatible withGoogle Chrome and the Menlo Park company's service.
Chrome then used, like many non-native applications, the Rosetta 2 translator that Apple put at least in order to run third-party applications on their brand new M1 processor.
Using Rosetta 2, the performance was there, but nothing revolutionary given Apple's announcements on the power of their M1 chip. But once the teams of Larry Page and Sergei Brin implemented the Google Chrome update allowing the browser to be used natively on new Macs, performance doubled.
Chrome (almost) as efficient as Safari?
Thus according to “Speedometer 2.0” which is surely the most reliable reference for calculating the performance of a browser, Safari obtains a score of 227 with the new M1 chip. Google Chrome, before the famous update, obtained a score of 116, which is less efficient than ChromeBooks, yet 4 times cheaper than the new Macs.
But once the browser is updated and thoughtfor M1, the score changes completely and Google Chrome obtains a score of 210, almost as good as Safari on the same chip.
