Fedora 22 Intel graphics comparison I ran a few different OpenGL graphics/game tests that are known to work well under both Windows and Linux with native ports. The Intel Linux OpenCL support right now is also only at OpenCL 1.2 while OpenCL 2.0 for Beignet is a work-in-progress. It still could end up being a few months though until OpenGL 4.3 support appears in released form in Mesa for matching the Intel Windows driver. Under both versions of Mesa, the Iris Pro 6200 graphics advertise just OpenGL 3.3 support, but OpenGL 4.0~4.1 will be here soon for the Intel open-source driver. I then tested Fedora 22 when upgrading to the Linux 4.2 Git kernel (using the Rawhide Nodebug repository) and Mesa 10.7-devel Git (via this Copr repository). Under Fedora 22 x86_64 I tested the stock performance after all updates were applied, which yielded the Linux 4.1.2 kernel and Mesa 10.6.1. The Linux distribution used for this inaugural Windows 10 comparison was Fedora 22 given that it runs well for the i7-5775C. For DirectX there's 11.1 supported by the hardware.
For the Broadwell graphics this Intel Windows driver exposes OpenGL 4.3 support and OpenCL 2.0 for compute.
On Windows 10 I was using the latest Intel driver release that's v10. This also is my first time running any Windows release with Broadwell hardware for a cross-OS comparison.įor this comparison I was using an Intel Core i7 5775C setup thanks to its impressive Intel Iris Pro 6200 Graphics. Linux comparison, I decided to see how well Intel's graphics performance is running between operating systems for their latest-generation Broadwell graphics. Linux Benchmarks Would You Like To See and The Phoronix Test Suite Is Running On Windows 10, here are our first benchmarks comparing the performance of Microsoft's newly released Windows 10 Pro 圆4 against Fedora 22 when looking at the Intel's OpenGL driver performance across platforms.įor this first Windows 10 vs.
