SmallPT GPU was hitting some bottle-neck with Beignet, the results seeing no change at all across the tested Intel graphics.

Well, those are the reference tests we have to share today from Beignet 1.3 atop Intel's Clear Linux distribution. If you wish to compare your own Linux system's OpenCL performance to the results found in this article it's simply a matter of installing the Phoronix Test Suite and running phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1701295-RI-BEIGNET6766. It's that easy with our open-source benchmarking platform!
