Top-5 Synthetic Benchmarks for Android in 2014
1. SunSpider
Developed by Apple
back in 2007, SunSpider remains part of the standard suite of
benchmarks that many perform when it comes to browsers. In case
you're wondering, SunSpider is pretty much exclusively focused on a
browser's ability to execute JavaScript code.
Already, some of you will remember what we said about Puffin, and users of the browser will smile. Indeed, the only reason Puffin is on the list of best browsers happens to be its unparalleled speed. Puffin achieves that by leveraging cloud computing. In other words, a very powerful computer, far away from you, does all the heavy work, while Puffin simply serves you the resulting page.
As for the rest, we're happy to see newcomers to the field managing such great results, and even pushing Google's Chrome down the ladder. Impressive stuff.
* lower is better

2. Mozilla Kraken
Alike to SunSpider,
Mozilla's (yes, that Mozilla) Kraken attempts to measure JavaScript
code-crunching performance for browsers, but it's much heavier than
SunSpider.
Unsurprisingly, Puffin is again at the helm, and Firefox is nowhere to be seen, even though the company behind it is the one that created Kraken. Dolphin, on the other hand, proves it's a step behind the competition, with a significantly worse score.
The rest, as you can see, are pretty clustered.

3. Browsermark
As we already
mentioned, Browsermark is a lot more about gauging how well a given
browser will perform in the real world, and this will be made obvious
to you if you just take a look at the types of scenarios the software
performs during the test.
Once again, Puffin proves to be ahead of the competition, all the while Chrome regains some lost ground. Dolphin continues to disappoint.

4. Peacekeeper
Like Browsermark,
Peacekeeper (developed by Futuremark -- the folks behind 3D Mark)
also attempts to measure real-world performance by putting the
browser through a number of different usage scenarios.
Yeah, that's right, Puffin just rules when it comes to speed, and that's quite obvious in the eyes of Peacekeeper. The majority of the rest are fairly clustered, though Firefox and Dolphin are lagging behind.

5. Peacekeeper,
HTML-5 Compatibility
Another component of
Peacekeeper is that it tests browsers for their compatibility with
the increasingly-popular HTML5 standard. Given how the industry as a
whole considers HTML5 to be the logical next step, ensuring your
browser is capable of understanding the new code is
important.
Despite Firefox's disappointing scores so far, it does happen to be one of the most capable HTML5 browsers (along with UC Browser). The rest are pretty clustered, and have distance to cover before calling themselves fully HTML5-compatible.
