Phoronix: New Intel Improvements In Mesa Git, Including For Old Hardware

There's more improvements in Mesa Git to talk about this week for Intel open-source customers, including those still on older "Gen4" graphics hardware...

Well, as a gen4 owner this is a welcome improvement.

Still forlornly waiting for my GL3 support though...

Now what about i915 chipsets?

Would be happy if:
1- I can run ToME
2- Get +3-4 FPS in my Urho3D project.

What is the SIMD16 they are talking about? I get that it's something Single Instruction, Multiple Data, 16 bit wide; but is it OpenCL or SSE4?

Anyway, it's great that someone cares about old hardware. I happen to use this one, too.
