Intel's Linux OpenGL Driver Faster Than Apple's OS X Driver

Posted by samzenpus on from the greased-lightning dept.

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."

    Linux doesn't beat the gimp, Linux is the gimp.

    Indeed, it's cool that Linux now has access to some new 7-9 year old games.
