Chromium leaves strange artefacts after switching from the first (and
only) search result on intel here...

so did you follow the instruction given during the intel upgrade by 
pacman:


This driver now uses SNA as the default acceleration method. You can 
still fall back to UXA if you run into trouble. To do so, save a file 
with the following content as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf :
  Section Device
Identifier  Intel Graphics
Driver  intel
Option  AccelMethod  uxa
  EndSection


i did that, and the artefacts are gone.

when I scroll the page.  It happens regularly, every couple of minutes or
more.

This is on a Dell Latitude E5520 (Sandybridge i5) with KDE.

I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this?

Similar thing happens to me with chrome and awesome. I think it happens 
since last two version of intel driver updates.
