Intel Iris Pro OpenGL vs. Vulkan Benchmarks With Linux 4.9, Mesa 13.1-dev

Here is a quick comparison of the Iris Pro 6200 performance for OpenGL and Vulkan compared to similar Ubuntu 16.10 setups with HD Graphics 4600 via a Haswell Core i7 4790K (using some data from those HSW and SKL tests done last week) and then HD Graphics 530 via a Skylake Core i5 6600K.

The Iris Pro 6200 graphics continue to run much faster than HD Graphics even of Skylake era. Sadly, the Broadwell Vulkan performance is proportionally worse than the other tests done for this article -- with the Skylake HD 530 run, the Vulkan performance at 800 x 600 was even better than the OpenGL result.

At 1920 x 1080, the Iris Pro 6200 continues offering the fastest Intel OpenGL graphics performance by far on the three systems compared today. But sadly its Vulkan performance isn't as ideal.
