Intel Sandy Bridge SNA Jan 2012
Intel Core i5-2520M testing with a HP 161C and Intel Sandybridge Mobile (GT2+) on Ubuntu 12.04 via the Phoronix Test Suite. Intel Core i3 330M testing with a ASRock HM55-HT and Intel Core IGP on Ubuntu 12.04 via the Phoronix Test Suite. Intel Core i5-2400S testing with a ASRock H61M/U3S3 and Intel Sandybridge Desktop (GT1) on Ubuntu 12.04 via the Phoronix Test Suite. A testing of Ubuntu 12.04 Precise daily on 30 January 2012, then upgrading to current Git master of Linux 3.3, Mesa 8.0-devel master, and xf86-video-intel. Then again when doing the same Intel Git components layered atop Ubuntu 12.04 but then with SNA enabled. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel.

Cairo Performance Demos
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.
x11perf
GtkPerf
This test calculates the average frame-rate from several different GTK operations. 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.
Render Bench
This test runs render_bench, which tests the performance of X.Org and the video driver's RENDER extension. 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.
World of Padman
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.
