The goal was to compare the performance of the Intel driver on Linux und Windows.
"AAA" games with high end graphic effects would perform poor on intel graphics. It's useless to compare results of 3-5 fps.
Plus the games to test should run natively on Linux and use OpenGL render path on both systems...
Right, but comparing the performance can give us clues about the state of the driver development and potential to reach in the future...
As the results show, it's a little worse than on Windows, but not "very bad".
The first test compared Ubuntu 13.04 (Unity) and Windows 8.
After some arguments, the test was extendet with Ubuntu 13.04 XFCE and KDE.
After further arguments, the test is now extendet with Windows 7 and Fedora.
It's impossible to cover every distribution, especially if you start tweaking. The most common default options seem to be covered...
It's hard to compare Intel driver performance on NVIDIA or AMD hardware.
Maybe it's not the author...
... but the reader?
@ Michael: Thanks for the comparisons. And don't let the unjustified criticism discourage you.
