Ubuntu's Unity Has Room To Improve Performance
The Warsow results were close as well but favoring Unity 6.2.0.
For the last of this quick Intel graphics testing with the Unity desktops, Unity 2D performed much better than the default Unity.
As one can see from these quick Intel Linux graphics results, the removal of the Unity 2D is coming even while the default Unity desktop with Compiz still isn't as fast. There's more that can be done to optimize Unity/Compiz for better graphics performance, allowing un-redirected full-screen windows by default, etc. Tests of other graphics drivers on Unity will be forthcoming along with looking at how Unity-On-LLVMpipe affects system power consumption as well as the Linux desktop usability on low-end hardware.
