Sandy Bridge is the big winner because it lies at something of a crossroads. It supports a fairly high OpenGL version, and it still has the old style math box. The high OpenGL version means a lot more shaders can run on it. The old style math box means extra moves are necessary to resolve source modifiers on operands to complex math instructions like COS, SQRT, and RCP. v2: Remove a couple patterns that are now redundant. All Gen7+ platforms had similar results.
