Yes, slightly unbelievably, Google has decided that the best way to showcase their page rendering speed is via the medium of high-velocity starch-laden produce.
That’s right, we have a promotional video for chrome featuring a large cannon that fires a potato through a dicer and ultimately into a fryer. All this is in aid of showing just how fast chrome can render a page. The potato fragments – all filmed on a high speed camera – race past the computer screen and attempt to beat Chrome actually loading a page. It’s actually quite impressive to watch!
Google aren’t finished there though, there are another 2 mad-professor style experiments designed to showcase Chrome’s rendering speed. There is paint sat in front of a speaker which is fired skyward when a tone is emitted, and perhaps most impressively we have Chrome trying to show a clean pair of heels to lightning itself. You certainly can’t fault Google’s lofty ambitions – even weather is not out of their sights.
..More details can be found on the Google Chrome Blog.
