Ubuntu 12.10 Is Faster With Intel Hardware

Basically the tests should be done crossplattform. The raw speed for intel on win is much higher which is really sad. The diff between linux+win is lowest with nvidia, amd performs up to opengl 3 really similar, but has got a problem with opengl 4 (only heaven compared with hd5670). intel however is a day/night experience - lots of apps do not even run on linux which do on win like heaven (with tesselation) or rage (via wine). Haswell, the IVB successor will get a much more powerful - i expect about twice the speed on certain benchmarks, maybe not all. Of course intel could optimize the drivers for a certain workload (like the source 2 engine) but most likely amd will be still faster - only compared the combined cpu+gpu solutions. As always the number of possible sales will impact drivers. It's all about making money.
