AMD Kaveri Open-Source Graphics Testing
Testing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS out of the box on an AMD A10-7850K Kaveri system followed by testing it with Radeon DPM power management manually enabled and then enabling color tiling support for maximum performance on RadeonSI Gallium3D. Benchmarks by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.
