In a notebook using the Intel i7 Sandy Bridge architecture platform, this article will introduce the Performance Comparison Between PC-BSD/FreeBSD 9.0 rc and Ubuntu 11.10. However, FreeBSD may be crazy to run on the latest Intel platform, because the use of Intel HD 2000/3000 Sandy Bridge graphics card does not have mainstream support. Intel KMS/DRM Linux drives support FreeBSD kernels and provide xf86-video-intel driver support for Sandy Bridge BSD, but there is still a need for perfection.

Hardware Testing Platform

The following describes the test platform. Compal pbl21. it is equipped with Intel core i7 2630QM "Sandy Bridge" mobile processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M graphics card.
