Yandex Browser and Yandex Search Engine, Russia’s most successfully marketed product in everyday technology, accuse AMD, a hardware manufacturer, of creating an environment of unfair competition.
According to Yandex’s claim, AMD’s Windows drivers work more efficiently in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge than Yandex Browser. Let’s take a look at the original of the claims together.
Yandex claims AMD drivers give more errors in Yandex Browser than any other browser
In a blog post explaining its new findings, Yandex claims that AMD drivers fail more than five times when they detect the “chrome.exe” file and consume an average of 8% less memory.
In the table you see above, there is the crash pattern of the AMD drivers. The red line represents the number of driver crashes when using the ‘chrome.exe’ file. As you can see, very little. Let’s also mention that the performance results are revealed by converting the browser.exe file to chrome.exe.
The developers at Yandex got the black line finding when they launched their browser and put it to the test. However, they observed that when they changed the name of their browser to ‘chrome.exe’ and ran it, this problem was resolved and the error rate of the browser decreased.
Of course, this claim is Yandex’s own claim. The tests were done by themselves, not by an independent organization. Therefore, if AMD or Google respond to the issue, we can get a clearer result.
