gollark: 10-ish TPS is *kind of playable*, at least.
gollark: Also, being able to get reasonably consistent non-terrible performance.
gollark: I don't think Switchcraft is doing anything hugely special except for being more popular and fairly consistently up.
gollark: My iGPU's Gen9, which doesn't suffer a horrible performance hit, but *really Intel*?!
gollark: Apparently Intel somehow even managed to muck up security of their iGPUs. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel-gen7-hit&num=1
