mesa 20.0
Publication date: 10 Mar 2020Modification date: 10 Mar 2020
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 7
Description
This update provides an upgrade to mesa 20.0 branch, currently based
on 20.0.1.
Note that beginning with mesa 20, the 'new' 3D driver called 'iris' for
recent Intel hardware (Gen8+), based on the Gallium driver framework is
now the default driver. The reason for this is that iris is significantly
more efficient than i965. Recent benchmarking shows that it's roughly
5-10% faster at many actual applications. In simple CPU overhead tests,
iris can issue 5-20x as many draw calls per second as i965. The upstream
hope is that this lower overhead will translate to better laptop battery
life and higher performance.
For other changes in this update, see the referenced relnotes.
