On my Xoom with stock ICS 4.0.3, Chrome is on the whole dead even with the stock browser:

    Chrome - 2276.2ms +/- 1.0%
    Stock - 2288.9ms +/- 2.0%
Here's a screenshot of the detailed breakdown: http://i.imgur.com/WA37A.png . The "FROM" column is Chrome, the "TO" column is stock. Some tests Chrome wins, some stock.


Anandtech did a Sunspider comparison with Chrome slightly trailing stock and both somewhat behind Firefox 10. Not really gamebreaking differences though.

I use Firefox Home on iOS for the sync even though the JS is gimped in non-Safari webkit views. Sync is that killer.


He updated with a test on a Galaxy Nexus (which is a TI OMAP chipset rather than a Tegra2) and Chrome did better than stock, but still behind Firefox.

Though to be honest I'm not sure why Anandtech continue to use Sunspider as a benchmark.
