AMD Renoir Graphics Beating Out Intel Icelake/Gen11 On Linux

With the open-source ET: Legacy game that continues to advance where Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory left off, the Ryzen 7 4700U delivered about 11% higher performance over the Core i7 1065G7. The game is light enough that either laptop could easily run without issues.

One of the few Linux games where the Intel Gen11 Ice Lake graphics came out ahead was with the SuperTuxKart racing game. SuperTuxKart came out ahead, potentially due to missed driver optimizations by RadeonSI or other Linux driver factors.

While moving over to Tesseract, the Ryzen 7 4700U was 27% faster than the Core i7 1065G7.

The Ryzen 7 4700U was faster with Unigine Superposition too, but at sub-30 FPS performance... There aren't too many game tests in this article as more demanding games are still much better off running on a discrete GPU.
