Intel does fairly well actually... It's particularly the nVidia/ATi binary blobs that are riddled with subtle problems. xrandr support had been severely lagging behind in nVidia's blob (up until recently) for example, which caused serious issues with regard to color management. The advantage of buying a high end CPU, is that it will benefit you with _all_ software. Buying a OpenCL capable GPU, means a few select applications gain performance, under the condition you've using their buggy drivers.
