Intel Sandy Bridge Graphics Haven't Gotten Faster In Recent Years

Sandy bridge provides a really awful performance on Linux (for gaming). What kind of functionality would you expect to work better if the drivers had more punch? Like any particular games? Flash? Web browsers? I'm a bit confused.
But ATM the notebook have no HDD, and I broke up with that girlfriend :Ь

Consider yourself lucky it's still running on the latest kernels. Intel pretty much abandoned the hardware on both Windows and Linux: https://communities.intel.com/thread/61432

Sandy bridge GPU is 100% fine to do that already.
Even if it received improvements it won't be able to do much more than that because the hardware is what it is.
You're probably forgetting that Sandy was still in the times when iGPUs were crap and devices with only iGPUs were office machines. The first "gaming-worthy" iGPU (please forgive me true gamers, I mean "the first iGPU that showed you could actually play some relatively modern games on iGPUs if you pull down settings") was the HD4000.
What's the usecase? Well, e.g. to entertain a girlfriend whilst I'm busy.

Games aren't everything you know, some of us do 3D application development on Linux and have laptops with Sandy Bridge graphics cards. At least I did until my laptop was stolen two months ago. You know, I used to be the same, thinking that legacy hardware should be dropped. But the reality is that not everyone can run out and buy a new laptop every three years. My last laptop was a Macbook Pro. I can't really justify dropping that level of money on a new laptop right now, and since the Australian dollar has dropped against the US dollar by 25% the price of Apple laptops has shot up.

1) You will not survive.
2) You are not doing work, you just follow noob tutorials on how to initialize opengl window, thats all your so called "3D application development".
3) Prove that SB performance can be increased and increase it yourself, there is source code available.
