You'll simply need to run the Applications benchmark before and after installing the new browser, and the tool will get you the right results for each run. Of course, you can also test this for yourself if you're willing to buy a PCMark 10 license. Video playback seems even across the two versions, but otherwise, the Chromium-based Edge. The company says that its Applications benchmark tests real-life usage scenarios, including accessing social media, watching videos, and loading images and 3D objects.
The Chromium-based Edge received a total score of 9,631, well above the 8,435 of its predecessor. UL Benchmarks, the company behind the benchmarking tool, announced today that the PCMark 10 Applications Benchmark shows that the new Edge browser "at least" 10% more performant than the UWP version. But that's not all - according to the PCMark 10 benchmark, the new browser also has better performance. The browser has a few new features compared to the previous version, including Collections and support for Chrome extensions.
But for my point of view it’s obvious: Parallels beats VMWare Fusion.Microsoft's new Edge browser, based on the Chromium project, was released on January 15, and it's meant to replace the existing version based on UWP, now referred to as Legacy Edge. The only thing I don’t love is that I had to upgrade. It just took so much much much longer time then it did in Parallels 9! So now I just upgrade to Parallels 11: I love it! Boot-up time, Visual Studio performance, … I love it. I’m not even talking about compiling some code: very disappointing. Then… opening a Visual Studio project: disappointing. I first thought: OK, maybe VMWare tools have to be installed first but no: even after rebooting several times: boot-up time kept on being disappointing. Run the main benchmark and you’ll get a PCMark 10 score that you can use to compare your PC with other systems or to see the impact of Windows updates and hardware upgrades. But then… Starting up time: disappointing by all means. In PCMark 10, these tests include everyday tasks like browsing websites, video chat, writing and spreadsheets, photo and video editing, and playing games. But I thought: let’s try it fist so I installed the trial of Fusion 8… This was so disappointing for me… First I imported the existing Parallels virtual machine and converted it which went really smooth. Especially with their Parallels to VMWare upgrade offering. So I was holding my credit card ready in my hand, ready to pay for Fusion 8.
Also because I did not like it I had to pay to upgrade my Parallels license if I wanted to upgrade Mac OS to OS X El Captain… I don’t like this kind of “you have to”‘s. I’ve been a Parallels 9 user and was about to upgrade to VMWare Fusion 8 after reading several reviews.
