There is some misunderstanding with all these older articles like the one you shared. The kernel module i915 that is provided by default in the newer kernel series will run almost ALL intel gpu's just fine (with exception of newer cards, that requires a newer kernel in some cases).
Intel does this work on the driver offically, it is by no means a generic driver. One option may be to use the 4.0* series kerenel linuxlite provides in it's repo. This however isn't going to improve on an older series chipset. The series your on right now would gain little if anything.
Bottomline, it's rare to need to use externel drivers. And in intel's case... unless your running VERY new hardware (4th/5th gen cpu's basicly haswell+) you should be completely fine with the current drivers.
With ALL that said, are you experiencing any issues or troubles to warnt a different driver or experience?
