# Intel GPUs

Intel Graphics is considered the best GPU to run on Bliss OS or Android-x86. Due to the fact that Intel does put a lot of effort in bringing Android to x86 platform, especially their hardware.

In this sections, the test results will split into 3 part : pre-Skylake, post-Skylate and discrete GPU (For example: Intel ARC). We split between pre-Skylate and post-Skylake because although they are using the same kernel driver (i915), Mesa3d Gallium has 2 different graphics drivers. One is crocus (pre-Skylake) and one is iris (post-Skylake).
