This comparison seems to rather neglect Intel.
Sure, they come a third place in pure performance terms, but
performance means nothing if you can't take advantage of it. Intel
have been releasing open-source drivers for their GPUs for some time
now - 2 or 3 years? They maintain them and contribute to other OSS
projects like X.org.
IMO Intel deserve our thanks for this for more than ATi or nVidia,
and since I tend to buy hardware with the intent of still being able
to use it in 5 years' time, their graphics chipsets are also a
practical choice for me, too.
