Object.create vs. new (v14)

Revision 14 of this benchmark created by MB on

Setup

function MyClass(x, y) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
  }
  
  var MyProtoClass = {
    init: (function(x, y) {
      this.x = x;
      this.y = y;
      return this;
    }),
    x: 0,
    y: 0
  };
  
  function doSomething(obj) {
    var x = obj.x + obj.y,
      y = obj.x * obj.y,
      z = obj.x - obj.y;
  
    return x * y * z;
  }
  
  var x = 0 | (Math.random() * 10000),
    y = 0 | (Math.random() * 10000);
  
  var create = Object.create;
