WOW! A integrated card side by side with a discrete (hd5450) while the discrete one is using the closed driver!

what about the state of h264 video decoding capability in the linux driver? any word on that?

There are some chipsets under some open source graphics drivers for which I'd call the performance for some games "terrific", but I didn't see any of that come out of the Intel IGP in these tests....
For something that is effectively given away for free, it's done a pretty good showing.
Further, when looking at the last page, the card sits roughly in the middle for a lot of the results in openbenchmarking.org. Historically, they would all be "Low" performing systems in the bottom 33 percent.

I'm almost sure this is showing where the performance is relative to other cards. If the red line is on the right does that mean it's the best card benchmarked?
Trying to figure out what the black lines mean though
Yes, a percentile rank of 100 (far right) indicates that it is one of the fastest systems out there for that benchmark.

so when the red line is between the two black lines, you can say that's a mid-range hardware
I think it's quite interesting ! espacially because those quantiles are not stable at all across the different tests
OpenBenchmarking.org is going to be a great playground for wannabe statisticians !
There are markers at the 33% and 66% percentiles. That represents (from all the results that Openbencharking.org has - ie: people who are playing with PTS3).
So from that graph, you can immediately say that the system (and software used) is a mid-range system (between the 33% and 66% percentile). You can also see that the system is a poor choice against other hardware in the GLSL based games/benchmarks (nexuiz and lightsmark).
Yes, people wanting stats are going to have a field day .

Don't buy the Intel 6-series H67/P67 chipsets!
The problem occured in Intel?s 6-series H67/P67 chipsets that has two sets of SATA ports. One set handles four 3 Gbit/s drives and the other works with a pair of 6 Gbit/s drives. The transistor of concern is located in the PLL (phase lock loop) clock tree of the 3 Gbit/s controller. The circuit was biased at too high a voltage for the design and this resulted in an excessively high leakage current. This in turn changes the system's characteristics and causes the controller to fail. The other controller is unaffected as well as it has its own PLL.
