Kaby Lake HD Graphics 630 Appear To Be Coming Up Short On Linux
Now some Dota 2 Vulkan results for reference...
Something is very wrong for Kaby Lake or at least the i5-7600K right now on Linux. Even with the Vulkan tests this Core i5 7600K was coming up short of a Skylake Core i5 6500 when both were using Ubuntu 16.10 + Linux 4.10 + Mesa 13.1-dev. More tests and information from research as they become available, hopefully will be able to get some clarification from Intel's open-source Linux graphics driver developers shortly. At least with this latest Git code, Kabylake doesn't appear to be in quite good shape, similar to the struggles new owners of Skylake and Sandy Bridge hardware faced back in the day being less than ideal compared to other Intel hardware launches. Hopefully these shortcomings will be overcome quickly.
