With these additional results, the OpenGL performance varied between Ubuntu 16.10 with Linux 4.10 and Mesa 13.1-dev being around the same speed as the older fglrx drivers to faster in a few scenarios. You can dig through more results via these OpenBenchmarking.org result files: 1701056-RI-KAVERI17416 and 1701054-RI-KAVERI28916.
