This has made a 'substantial difference' on Apple's Arm-based M1 Macs, says Google. Short builtin calls optimize the placement of generated code inside the device's memory, Google explains. The latter feature was very important to Chrome's performance on M1 Macs. Google last year announced Chrome version 91 was 23% faster thanks to Sparkplug and short builtin calls. Sparkplug is the new mid-tier JavaScript compiler for Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine and sits between the Ignition byte code interpreter and Turbofan optimizing compiler in Chrome. Other major contributors to Chrome's latest speeds are the V8 Sparkplug compiler and 'short builtin calls'. 'Overall, since launching Chrome on M1-based Macs in late 2020, Chrome is now 43% faster than it was just 17 months ago,' Google notes in a blogpost. Chrome's graphics performance was also 15% faster than Safari due to recent graphics optimizations. Google credits Chrome's faster speeds to its ThinLTO build optimization technique in Chrome 99 for making it now 7% faster than current builds of Safari. It compared Chrome 99 with Safari 15.2 17612.3.6.1.6 on a 14-inch 2021 model MacBook Pro with the Apple M1 Max chip with 10 cores, 32 GPU cores, and 64GB of RAM that was connected to power. The improvements Google highlights are particularly important for Chrome's performance on Apple's M1 Macs.

Google found Chrome 99 on Mac achieved a score of 300 in Speedometer, making it the highest score of any browser on macOS, including the WebKit-based Safari and also other Chromium-based browsers, from Brave to Microsoft Edge and onto Vivaldi.
