The version 6.8.2 is required for Intel binary driver.

As someone told some time ago, Intel open source driver does not take advantage
of Zone Rendering and possible some other memory bandwidth optimizations. It is
possible that binary driver is somewhat better. 

I do not know whether Zone Rendering is possible to use with current Mesa. If
so, then ask Intel to either release the spec of HW or hire more
programmers so that things move forward faster.
