iOS and Android. Which OS is faster?

HTML5 today is a kind of lingua franca of the Internet, but unfortunately, the game written on it, while still working too slowly.

A platform to learn how to handle the HTML5-code faster than others are more likely to gain an advantage over competitors. Therefore, the developers of the test is conducted Spaceport.io mobile platforms such as iOS and Android for performance in HTML5.

If the game starts and shows a rather quick work on HTML5, it may subsequently have a positive impact on its sales and increase in popularity, because games are written in HTML5 - Cross-platform and can run on any mobile OS.

The test proved to iOS 3 times faster than the competition from Google. To carry out such tests Spaceport.io created special tools to measure performance PerfMarks HTML5-code. The main criterion for calculating the performance was the ability of a device to change the image on the screen - the basis of all games. A good result was the rate of 30 frames per second, which offers the most usual format is for the person using the application.

As a result, the tests that were conducted several times, iOS showed itself every time better than Android. the latest generation iPhone scored 252 points based on the results of the measurements, and the iPad 2 showed as much 327 points. In turn, iPhone 3GS, model 2009, was able to give only 53. For comparison - Samsung Galaxy Nexus index was noted at 147 points, and somehow scored Kindle Fire 25.

At the moment, the iPad 2 is the most productive in terms of HTML5 device, and was the only Galaxy Nexus of Android-smartphone, which could change the picture on the screen with a frequency of 30 frames per second. But here on Android tablet can not boast of the results, close to the Galaxy Nexus and even more so to the iPad 2. For example, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 scored slightly more than the old 3GS - 65 points.

But both operating systems as iOS 5 and Android 4.0 (latest version) - showed a significant improvement in the implementation of the HTML5-code. For example, the fourth version of the "green robot" has become a much more friendly for HTML5 in comparison to Android 3.0, which is carried out tests in general behaved inappropriately.

Here's what the founder says Spaceport.io Ben Savage (Ben Savage): «Processing of HTML5 becomes more rapid, it can be seen on the latest operating system updates iOS and Android. And while HTML5 is becoming popular, there is still a lot of things over which you should carefully work. We hope that our program will PerfMarks demand among software developers in the HTML5 ».

The following report is based on data PerfMarks, will be published on May 21 Conference Game Developer Conference in San Francisco. Does Android have time to correct the situation or just iOS only strengthen its leadership?
