Intel Celeron, Pentium Haswell HD Graphics On Mesa 10.1-devel

Written by Michael Larabel in Display Drivers on 1 January 2014 at 09:00 AM EST. Page 6 of 6. 2 Comments.

Similar to the Intel Celeron results, the Intel Pentium performance is much faster with Mesa 10.1-devel for the demanding Xonotic Ultra and Ultimate image quality test runs.

Furmark is also much faster for the Intel Pentium G3220 on the newer graphics driver code.

There's some performance improvements to find out of using the Oibaf PPA with lower-end Intel Celeron and Pentium hardware, but not too much at this time. However, besides performance there's also newly-enabled OpenGL extensions and other functional changes over Mesa 9.2 from a few months ago. Upgrading to the very latest Linux kernel is another easy way that can generally lead to faster open-source graphics performance.

Additional Mesa 10.1/11.0 benchmarks will come as the next release nears in about the next two months.
