Benchmarks by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com. Comparing various Intel HD Graphics on different Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors. Testing from Ubuntu 13.10 with the Linux 3.11 kernel and Mesa 9.2.0. Feel free to run your own OpenGL performance comparisons with the Phoronix Test Suite!

This test calculates the average frame-rate from several different GTK operations. 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.
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.
