Intel Sandy Bridge UXA SNA GLAMOR
Testing of xf86-video-intel DDX Git master as of 19 April with stock UXA, Intel SNA (--enable-sna), and Intel DDX with Git master of GLAMOR acceleration enabled as of 19 April 2012 along with Git master of Mesa and the latest Linux 3.4 development kernel throughout. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com looking at the performance impact of stock UXA 2D X.Org acceleration versus SNA (Sandy Bridge New Acceleration) versus Glamor OpenGL acceleration. Intel Ivy Bridge benchmarks of these 2D acceleration means on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS are forthcoming on Phoronix.

Cairo Performance Demos
The cairo-demos test is a benchmark of Cairo using a collection of Cairo demos created by Chris Wilson at Intel OSTC. This test profile tests Cairo's Xlib back-end (others could be supported upon request) expecting an existing Cairo installation on the test system. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
QGears2
This test runs qgears2, which is a test written by Zack Rusin and is based upon cairogears. This test can see how well different rendering backends perform and uses Qt4. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

JXRenderMark
cairo-perf-trace
The cairo-perf-trace test is a benchmark bundled with the upstream Cairo package. This test profile tests Cairo's Xlib back-end using a few of the tests from the cairo-traces repository on FreeDesktop.org Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Nexuiz
This is a benchmark of Nexuiz, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game uses the DarkPlaces engine, which is a largely modified version of the Quake engine with extra features such as High Dynamic Range rendering and OpenGL 2.0 shaders. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
OpenArena
This is a test of OpenArena, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game is based upon ioquake3, which in turn uses the GPL version of id Software's Quake 3 engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
GtkPerf
This test calculates the average frame-rate from several different GTK operations. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
