Google retires outdated Octane JavaScript benchmark
 

Benchmarks are a crucial part of what we do here at TR. As fun as it can be to compare performance figures for competing widgets, any given benchmark has little value if it doesn't correlate to performance in a real workload. Google's V8 JavaScript engine team has taken a long look at its Octane benchmark and concluded that the test is no longer indicative of real-world JavaScript performance. The team has therefore chosen to retire the benchmark and stop recommending its use as a JavaScript performance test.
