Mesa 9.0 vs. Mesa 9.1-devel On Intel Sandy Bridge

Written by Michael Larabel in Display Drivers on 2 December 2012 at 11:00 AM EST. Page 4 of 4. 5 Comments.

For the most part there's no serious change in performance at this time with Mesa 9.1-devel as it concerns the i965 DRI driver supporting Sandy Bridge, but in a few cases there are very minor improvements. At least though there's continued work on better OpenGL enablement with new OpenGL 3.1/3.2/3.3 extensions finally being implemented and OpenGL ES 3.0 is around the corner.

Coming up next are Intel Ivy Bridge benchmarks along with an Intel DRM driver comparison across multiple kernel releases.
