Slower than Chrome in Speedometer 2.1

[mxft]

From what I've heard, Thorium should be much faster than Chrome. I downloaded M117.0.5938.157 installer and tried to test it. For test to be fair, I imported my Google account into Thorium and waited for it to install all my extensions. I checked if it's excatly the same as in my Chrome and then tested it.

Tests were run on Windows 10 22H2 with Ryzen 7 5700X

Thorium-Win 117.0.5938.157:

Google Chrome 118.0.5993.71:

Should it be exactly like this? Or am I doing something wrong?

I also tried Edge 118.0.2088.46 just for fun:

It is of little use to compare Thorium with closed-source software such as Chrome and Edge, and browsers with inconsistent versions.

@F474M0R64N4 it's weird that my Chrome instance runs better on a weaker CPU. But I'm not surprised Thorium is fast on your benchmark, because this is exactly what's expected of it. I'm just wondering why I don't get the same performance difference between browsers.

Sadly, it didn't work. Results are pretty much the same

The official websites states that Thorium is faster than vanilla chrome, not google chrome.

"This nets a 8-38% performance improvement over vanilla Chromium, ... "

In the screenshots I see 503 points. And the speedometer scale is made up to a maximum of 140 points. What's wrong ? Maybe the lower the number, the better the result ? Strange implementation of the benchmark.
