Intel Core i5-2520M Sandy Bridge benchmarks under clean x86_64 installations of Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin. Besides comparing stock Ubuntu 11.10 vs. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Linux performance, also added in Git master tests of the Intel Linux graphics stack - Linux 3.4 Git, Mesa 8.1-devel, libdrm, xf86-video-intel Git DDX. Also a GCC 4.8 snapshot. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com in May by Michael Larabel.

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.
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.
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.

Smallpt is a C++ global illumination renderer written in less than 100 lines of code. Global illumination is done via unbiased Monte Carlo path tracing and there is multi-threading support via the OpenMP library. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a test of C-Ray, a simple raytracer designed to test the floating-point CPU performance. This test is multi-threaded (16 threads per core), will shoot 8 rays per pixel for anti-aliasing, and will generate a 1600 x 1200 image. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
