Intel Kaby Lake HD Graphics 620 OpenGL/Vulkan Performance On Linux

[gamerk2]

I'm still trying to understand the difference between the Iris graphics in Skylake and HD graphics in Kaby Lake. Perhaps someone
with the Gen6 Iris could run the benchmark suite for comparison.

The Iris Pro typically doubles the Intel HD performance, at least. The main advantage is the eDRAM built in, which acts as a high-speed cache that hides the memory latency issues that plague all GPUs to an extent.

on the dota benchmarks. what are the settings? highest? lowest?

Highest i guess, since on Windows that same GPU (but even on slower i3) does this on medium:

Well this is low power PC 8W idle and 26W max this perf looks nice and expected

As always if power and money is not a limit there are much better solutions

For somebody whose only claim to "fame" are made-up stories about working for a failed company in the 90's that produced tank-sized power hog "workstations" for more than $20K while Intel revolutionized the industry, you sure have a big ego.
