As pointed out in other posts. Intel does not maintain a proprietary graphics driver for linux. *shock gasp*

It's all maintained and released up steam in the relevant open source projects (kernel, Mesa, xorg...).

More information is maintained on Intel's opensouce website.

Just one of the reasons it all goes under the radar is that it not Gamer level graphics hardware, so it's not covered by the benchmarking press.
