Intel Stoakley & Harpertown Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| While there were a number of benchmarks used, some of the results were done
| within Linux for kernel compilation, LAME encoding, and OpenSSL. We've
| published all of the slides that were shared with the press today, including
| the early Harpertown/Stoakley benchmarks.

It must be unpleasant doing benchmarks for days only to receive a sudden and
disruptive BSoD (or be faced with validation, or forced reboot, etc).

| According to a keynote given at OSCON, Intel's PowerTOP application has
| allowed developers to get a close-up view of what is sucking power in a
| GNU/Linux system. Apparently they've gotten so much feedback and patches that
| they've been able to extend battery life by an hour since the first release,
| making GNU/Linux the best OS for power saving.

| While we had not included benchmarks in this article from previous
| xf86-video-intel driver releases, we haven't found any noticeable performance
| improvements in any configuration when using version 2.1.0 compared to the
| previous 2.0 release that had come out two months ago.
