Chrome OS Benchmarked Against Moblin, Ubuntu Netbook, More

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the feels-a-little-like-apples-to-oranges dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Using the latest build of Google's Chromium OS source code, Phoronix built it out to run on a Samsung netbook and ran sixteen benchmarks, putting it up against Moblin 2.1, Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10, openSUSE 11.2, and Fedora 12. They ran some of their usual desktop benchmarks (encoding, video, etc..), but more interestingly they ran a number of battery, CPU usage, and memory consumption tests under different settings that show some of the advantages and disadvantages for each of the Linux distributions, and spotted a few bugs along the way."

    Face it, "Chrome OS" isn't an operating system in any way. It's a web browser running on a Linux distribution. Nothing more, nothing less.

    A more appropriate name for it is "Chrome Fullscreen".

      Funny, I thought Linux was a Kernel.

      Since we're being pedantic and all.

      Pedantic-Man(tm) says you should not have capitalized the word 'kernel'. Just sayin'.
