Summary: "The year began with Intel launching their "Sandy Bridge"

processors. While the CPU performance was very impressive for these

latest-generation Intel processors, the graphics performance under Linux

was a problem. The drivers were not ready in time. Well, they actually

were technically available, but in Git source form and not easy for

Linux desktop customers. There were also some initial hurdles in the

Sandy Bridge Linux graphics support. However, over the past year, the

Intel OSTC developers working on the open-source graphics support have

dramatically improved the situation. As this article recaps the

performance over the past year, Sandy Bridge is now rocking under Linux

and Ivy Bridge is ready to go."
