Summary: "There have been a number of Intel Sandy Bridge articles on

Phoronix since the January launch of this next-generation Intel CPU

micro-architecture. It's ranged from the Linux support being challenging

to dealing with motherboard problems and then the graphics performance

being fast relative to previous generations of Intel graphics and for

being based upon the classic Mesa driver architecture, but much slower

than Windows. Last week then the Sandy Bridge Linux performance became

much more interesting after a simple patch led to a huge performance win

to the point that the open-source Linux driver performance is much

closer to their full-featured Microsoft Windows driver. What is the next

chapter in the Intel Sandy Bridge Linux story? A look at the VA-API

video acceleration playback performance."
