Intel Clarkdale Linux Graphics Performance

Urban Terror is more or less playable on the Clarkdale graphics processor all the way up to a 1920 x 1080 resolution where it came in at just under 30 FPS. With this ioquake3 game the Radeon HD 2600 PRO was running a few frames behind the Clarkdale graphics. The Radeon HD 4670 graphics card here was slower than the Radeon X800XL and Radeon X1950PRO, showing that there still is more work to go into the open-source 3D support for the R600/700 series. The Radeon X1950PRO exhibited the best performance with a score always above 90 FPS.

While the GtkPerf results do not represent much, the ATI Radeon discrete graphics cards all had a faster time than the Clarkdale graphics processor with the GtkComboBox test.

The Radeon HD 2600 PRO fell behind the Core i3 with the GtkDrawingArea Pixbufs test, while the other Radeon cards were faster.

Moving to QGears2 to better test the X Render back-end, with the gears test the Radeon X800XL, Radeon X1950PRO, and Radeon HD 4670 all came out ahead of the Core i3, but falling into last place was the Radeon HD 2600 PRO.
