Clear Linux Continues To Have Graphics Performance Advantage Over Ubuntu

With Intel HD Graphics, every frame counts for getting a fluid gaming experience and with Clear Linux there's frequently a few more frames per second to provide.

The lead of Clear Linux got smaller as the visual intensity increases, but nevertheless still impressive especially for riding on Mesa 12.0 stable rather than the bleeding-edge Mesa Git code that tends to have all of the latest performance improvements.

The GpuTest results mixed from being faster on Clear Linux to being the same speed as Ubuntu 16.04. That's it from the basic cross-platform OpenGL games where the packaging needs are met on Clear Linux.

While Clear Linux was faster in several of the benchmarks than Ubuntu 16.04, it still wasn't enough for the open-source Intel Linux graphics driver stack to outperform the Windows 10 driver.
