Intel's Linux OpenGL Driver Faster Than Apple's OS X Driver
An anonymous reader writes "The open-source Intel Linux graphics driver has hit a milestone of now being faster than Apple's own OpenGL stack on OS X. The Intel Linux driver on Ubuntu 13.04 is now clearly faster than Apple's internally-developed Intel OpenGL driver on OS X 10.8.3. when benchmarked from a 'Sandy Bridge' class Mac Mini. Only some months ago, Apple's GL driver was still trouncing the Intel Linux Mesa driver."
But, um, yeah, I honestly thought that post was a pretty direct cruising-for-a-bruising affair. Congrats on getting it modded up at all!
I've been irritated at the moderator/detractors lately: They love modding me 'overrated', or taking something that's funny and modding it flamebait/troll, knowing full well someone will come along and mark it funny again. They're trying to bleed me of karma because they can't attack what I'm saying, but they can make me suffer for it just the same. AH! There's a girl here! And she's being smart, and snarky, and... and... mod down! mod down! ABORT! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIeeeee..... *head asplodes* *shrugs* Just further proof that the hipsters have finally made landing here as well. Things that become popular invariably bring intolerance and bigotry with them... and our community is no exception. :(
