Intel Mesa 7.9 Benchmarks
With Mesa 7.9 just around the corner and it sporting a new GLSL compiler, support for new OpenGL extensions, and months worth of other changes to core Mesa and its drivers, we decided to run some benchmarks of the latest Intel Arrandale graphics processor with the past few Mesa releases to see how the performance compares. We also have ATI and Nouveau Mesa benchmarks on the way.
While there is the Intel i965 Gallium3D driver, it has not developed or supported by Mesa but rather a side project by a few VMware developers working on the Gallium3D architecture. The i965g driver is not official nor does it even really do much at this point, so, all of the testing in this article is being done using Intel's official classic Mesa DRI driver. The Intel OpenGL testing was done with the Mesa 7.7.1, 7.8.3, and 7.9-devel (obtained from Git on 2010-09-05). You can also find our Intel i945 Mesa 7.9 benchmarks with results that go back to Mesa 7.4.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
