How is this compare to Mozilla's Servo approach?

https://servo.org/

From the simple block diagram and benchmark, servo seems to be better?

Servo claims 500 fps.

This only shows 22-48 fps.

Anyone have good technical explanation on the difference?



You're comparing apples and tigers.

Intel's work is focused on the lower layers of the graphics stack, and removing the inefficiencies of older (X11 for example) architectures.

Servo is for rendering HTML, that is, taking HTML markup, and displaying the paragraphs, tables and whatnot graphically. So it is operating at a higher level.


"22-48 fps" is for video decoding

"500 fps" is for page rendering
