Mesa 9.2 Radeon HD 4650 R600g Benchmarks
Intel Core i7-3960X with an ATI Radeon HD 4650 (R700 generation) graphics card. Benchmarking of Mesa 9.1 Git versus Mesa Git master (9.2-devel) on 6 July with Ubuntu 13.10 and the Linux 3.10 kernel. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix. Also using R600_DEBUG=sb for the shader optimization back-end to the R600 Gallium3D driver.
