## AI overview

The article explains how Chrome more than doubled Speedometer 2.1 scores on many Android devices since Chrome M112. It attributes the gains to build optimizations, V8 and Blink improvements, and closer coordination with Android operating-system scheduling and SoC partners.

## Source excerpt

Today's The Fast and the Curious post covers how Chrome achieved best-in-class Speedometer scores on mobile devices, resulting in faster and smoother web experiences for Android users. Chrome has always been about speed. Whether it's loading pages quickly, running complex web apps smoothly, or delivering a seamless browsing experience, performance is at the heart of our browser. And we're always looking for ways to make Chrome even faster. Over the last two years, we have been hard at work on a number of performance improvements for Android devices. We're excited to share some of the progress we've made. Speedometer on Android One of the key metrics we use to track Chrome's performance is the Speedometer benchmark. This benchmark is developed in collaboration with other major web browser engines and measures how quickly Chrome can complete interactions with web pages, including parsing/rendering HTML or CSS and running JavaScript. Since the release of Chrome M112, we've seen a significant increase in Speedometer 2.1 scores on Android devices [1]. In fact, on many devices, scores more than doubled, with the newest Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform setting new records for Speedometer performance on mobile devices! These huge accomplishments are a testament to the work not only of the Chrome and Android teams, but also our silicon and SoC partners. Since Chrome M112, Speedometer 2.1 scores have more than doubled on many Android devices. [1] How Did We Do It? The improvements resulted from several changes, including: Build optimizations: We've made a number of changes to the way Chrome is built, which has resulted in faster code execution tuned to modern premium Android devices and SoCs. V8 and Blink improvements: Many improvements to the JavaScript engine (V8) and the rendering engine (Blink) have further boosted performance. Scheduling, OS and SoCs: We worked closely with Android partners to optimize the way Chrome interacts with the operating system and its thread
