Now I got what susikala is standing for. His first choice of words were quite poor, indicating a personal attack on phoronix, but now that the talks are again in a decent level, we can focus back on the article.
I have to agree that the text doesn't point straight where it should be clearer than water: the fact that those results are great for Linux.
Gaming is one concern of a myriad, surely. But an important one. We cannot ignore that the gaming industry is quite powerful and has recently been the fuel to GPGPU development. CellBE is the best example.
Talking about CellBE/PS3, we should always remember that gaming console systems are usually a tweaked FreeBSD close-sourced (as the PS3 is). Showing the potential of Linux in this area is indeed important and I believe this article is exactly about that.
Is the article imperfect? Lacking information? Unclear conclusion? Ok, but as always, there's no other place to gather such information but on phoronix and I hope they continue to do so.
