Chromium 6.0.429.0 vs Opera 10.60 Alpha 1

So I heard, well, of course, hands on the toes in the keyboard, downloaded and started testing.
The test was Peacekeeper test from Futuremark. Opera 10.60 Alpha 1 was downloaded and installed. In contrast, the most recent (at that time) build of Chromium 6.0.429.0 was downloaded.
