Linux 3.5 May Boost AMD Graphics Performance

[TK492]

The 3.5 Linux Kernel landed today in the Fedora updates. Interested, I headed to seek what new stuff it brought to the end-user. One of the most noteworthy things was improvements for the AMD/ATI graphics card open source drivers.

The Linux 3.5 kernel is capable of delivering some massive performance gains for some of the more recent generations of ATI/AMD Radeon graphics processors. [...]

I haven't had any problems yet with 3.5.0-2, all seems to be in order. However I have yet too experience "vast improvements" as claimed.

How's everyone else's experience with the new kernel version?

I have the Intel HD3000 graphics and it pretty much blows.

Congrats, you've managed to self-diagnose correctly!

Nothing really apparent. Maybe if you're intently counting frames as an end in and of itself, but nothing that you can actually notice in day-to-day computing.
