For all of the "latest gpu driver benchmarks" posted, I don't understand why you dont include some older data.. Like you do for comparisons between ubuntu versions etc.
It would be interesting to see how the changes affect the performance of different cards while not having to go through old articles and comparing by yourself.

Here you go:

There are some nice performance increases here.

I couldn't find any 3.15 kernel tests which benchmarked the same software at the same resolutions, but I have compiled results from some of Michael's other articles for other kernels and mesa versions.
