They've also published a new RayTracer OO benchmark showing the Dart VM far out performing V8: http://www.dartlang.org/performance/

Guessing being able to use native SIMD instructions inside the Dart VM should help with gaming and other graphics intensive apps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKh7UOELpPo

I don't think the SIMD optimizations have actually landed yet, and if they have it would have been very recently, and the Dart VM has been beating V8 for a while.

Yes, the SIMD optimizations aren't quite there yet. You can already write SIMD code though.

Correct. The optimizations are landing now/soon. Feedback welcome!
