Vulkan, which is not yet publicly available, will mark the entry of open standards consortium Khronos into the low-level graphics API field.

If you disagree, go read up on Intel Atom processors with GMA 500,600,36xx GPUs (PowerVR SGX535/545 models)
They have questionable Windows drivers, and since Ubuntu 12.xx no linux drivers (they were ubuntu and some embedded linux distro only. Also limited to 2.6.32 kernels.)
