Since it is in > benchmarks I don't think we should bother. I dream one day we will get microbenchmarks as part of CI. Not only would that require a radical overhaul of the benchmarks/ but a substantial investment of hw & maintenance. In my dream, I also have a vision of like-for-like comparisons against other drivers. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
