Intel Build on Linux - Graphics

I'm getting ready to build a system on which I intend to run Xubuntu primarily. My initial plan was to build off of the i5-4670, but with the sub-par graphics performance of the built-in graphics, I'm now thinking about building from the i7-3770 instead. Is the graphics performance on the Haswell processors likely to improve with time and new kernels/drivers? Thanks!

This makes me glad of my 3770K... I will probably use it for a very long time.

My current desktop is a 4670K which I built in August.

I planned to use the HD4600 to hold me over until the Hawaii Islands launch, and so far I'm perfectly happy with its performance in native DOTA2 and other Steam Linux stuff.

This is your first post in how many years?!

That said, it is a very nice chip!

this kernel simply sucks with haswell, great regression in games. fortunately I have a ivy...

I like my ivy i3 for light gaming (laptop) pretty snappy lil bastard.
