How Do Browsers Scale?

An anonymous reader writes: Benchmarking browsers is a somewhat silly exercise, since scores cannot be replicated on a variety of hardware and it is likely that even the same system will not be able to hit benchmarks cores, especially in JavaScript tests in two succeeding runs. The guys over at ConceivablyTech have an interesting a approach an run browsers through multiple tests on different sets of hardware (including an Android smartphone), and just showed the scaling differences between browsers when you are using a dual-core netbook on the low-end and a six-core desktop on the high-end. They also tested HTML5 on Firefox mobile and found that the browser has better HTML 5 support than the current Firefox 4 Beta 6.
