Intel HD 2000/2500/3000/4000 Linux OpenGL Comparison

I don't fault Michael for not owning every Intel CPU in existence, or for comparing the GPU's in this manner (i.e. without limiting CPU speed), but I disagree that the benches are as conclusive as you infer. The benchmarks in this article only show the HD4000 paired with an i7-3770 (a quad-core, ~$300 chip). It would be really interesting to see how a Core i3-3225 (a dual-core, ~$140 chip with HD4000) fares on these benchmarks. I doubt many people are laying out $300 for an i7 and actually using the IGP for gaming...

Maybe the openbenchmarking database has i3-3225 results..

PS 2. Tell your girlfriend/wife to install graphic drivers on Linux

Why I will do that?
I even don't install graphic driver myself since there are already part of my distro (Linux+Xorg+Mesa).

Linux is just Plug'n'Play

3000 vs 4000

It's interesting how the 4000 performs much more than the 3000 one (difference seems bigger than between 2000 and 2500)

Thank you.

Impressive results from a dual core with HD 4000.

Thank you. That's good news for people on a tight budget.

i3225 rerun with DDR3 1333 instead of 1600 RAM (should have picked another name this time)
