Linux PowerPC Blender benchmark

*raises hand* I do. Both because POV-Ray doesn't support OpenCL to begin with, and because Intel chipset video sucks and it'd probably be slower even if it was supported.

But, y'know, that doesn't support your argument, so feel free to claim that it totally doesn't count.

Intel Ivybridge supports OpenCL.

OpenCL can slightly speed up the CPU path.

Only a complete *IDIOT* would confuse a CPU benchmark with GPU benchmarks, and come to the conclusion "pathetic trolling" based on this... :crazy:

Crazy!

:lol:

Why the separation between CPU and GPU when AMD GCN supports IEEE 754-2008 floating point operations (including double precision FP)?
