The Peacekeeper benchmark released an updated comparison of different browsers and the results are out:

1. Safari 4
2. Chrome 2
3. Chrome 1
4. Safari 3
5. Firefox 3.5
6. Opera 10
7. Opera 9
8. Firefox 3
9. Internet Explorer 8
10. Internet Explorer 7

The tests were performed on the Core i7 920, Phenom II X4 940 and Core 2 Duo E8400. Opera 10 did very poorly on the Phenom II compared to the performance on the Core i7 and Core 2 Duo processors. The performance results with Safari 3 were quite interesting with the performance of the 3 processors coming in reverse - the Phenom II actually ran Safari 3 the fastest, followed by the Core 2 Duo and the Core i7.

Speed is only one aspect about a browser, with the other significant aspect being (X)HTML/CSS rendering & standards compliance. You wouldn't want to use Lynx as your primary browser, would you?
