Open-source driving leap: Fedora19 and 20 Performance Comparison

Phoronix recently conducted a comprehensive test on the newly released Fedora20 and compared it with the previous Fedora19 version. If you are concerned about the Open-Source graphics card driver, never go away. The test system is a 64-bit version. The system kernel of Fedora20 is Linux3.11, which integrates the open-source driver Mesa9.2.3. Earlier versions are 3.9, 9.2.0-devel, and can also be upgraded to 3.11. All compilers are GCC4.8.2 and GCC4.9 will be available in the first half of next year.

The test system is a 64-bit version. The system kernel of Fedora 20 is Linux 3.11. It is integrated with the open-source driver Mesa 9.2.3. Earlier versions are 3.9, 9.2.0-devel, and can also be upgraded to 3.11. All compilers are GCC 4.8.2 and GCC 4.9 will be available in the first half of next year.

In fact, Linux 3.12 is also stable, but it is not time to integrate it. Mesa 10.0 is also basically formed, but it has to wait for the next version.

This test uses two sets of hardware systems (rare), one is Pentium G3220 processor, HD core display, 8 GB memory, 120GB Kingston solid state drive, wasu H81M-ITX motherboard, the second is Core i5-3470 processor, HD2500 Core display, 8 GB memory, 64 gb ocz Vertex solid state drive, wasu Z68 Pro3 motherboard.

First, the GPU part:
