Phoronix: LLVMpipe Performance On AMD Bulldozer, Intel Sandy Bridge
With the renewed interest in the Gallium3D LLVMpipe driver now that this software-based acceleration method is working with GNOME Shell, here are some benchmarks of this LLVM-based software driver when running some OpenGL tests on Intel Sandy Bridge and AMD Bulldozer hardware.

Seriously... Is it really that impossible for you to standardize the graphs like every other site on the entire internet at 30, 60 and truncate them past say 85 since no general use display was ever really able to physically display more then that anyways? My old IBM flat tube CRT was capable of 85Hz @1024x768.Quote:

High refresh rate screens are as rare as screens with a res above 2560x1600 these days.
This is pretty much amazing isn't it? Real 3D performance with a non-dedicated unit?
All the negativity associated with Bulldozer just doesn't seem to be based in fact. For a first generation processor the unit is not really that bad. If AMD can up the number of instructions per cycle even a little bit it will be a strng performer moving forward.
That is no small task by any means.Quote:
