Looking at my wall consumption, and using a software decoder, at 3.2 GHz (the clock speed of my system as set by the performance governor), I consume...

Modern chips power gate when idle, so that significant chunks of the chip stop using power when they're not in use. There's also an optimal performance...

It will for any situation where you're limited by RAM bandwidth rather than GPU compute power. So yes, especially good for single channel RAM, but good...

The extra P is for "Professional"; it implies that the GPU is in a Xeon instead of a Celeron/Pentium/i3/i5/i7. See today's HD Graphics P4600...

Exactly that. If you do it right, you can implement a proxy Wayland server that just passes things through unmodified if your upstream compositor supports...

A compositor can indeed advertise different buffer types; note that for pixel buffers, as used in core Wayland, there is no difference between EGL and...

[farnz]

Core Wayland requires that a wl_buffer (the buffers that clients hand to the compositor) are pixmaps in a format the compositor advertises that it can...

Just covering your OpenGL points:

• Nothing in Wayland needs OpenGL, EGL, or OpenGL ES. The only reason they keep coming up is that the Wayland devs don't

Xft draws text client-side into a picture, which is then blitted via the XRender API - the text itself is not sent over the wire to the display server,...
