This is from the same guy who said DirectX 12 could double X1 performance

DirectX 12 for Xbox One will make it easier for developers to run games in higher resolutions and with more detail, Stardock founder and CEO Brad Wardell has said.

Posting on Twitter, Wardell wrote: "One way to look at the XBox One with DirectX 11 is it has 8 cores but only 1 of them does dx work. With dx12, all 8 do."

Another Twitter user argues that Xbox One already does this, but Wardell says this isn't the case.

"I'm sorry but you're totally wrong on that front," he responded before adding, "XBO is very low on overhead. Overhead is not the problem. It is that the XBO isn't splitting DX tasks across the 8 cores."

Asked on Twitter how DX12 will benefit Xbox One games, Wardell replied: "I think it'll make it easier to have games run at higher resolution and have more objects on screen at once."

ooo sweet, i was just thinking how it would be nice to have another performance thread to help me waste time today. Tagged

lol teehehe :-p

You're welcome.  The day just doesn't feel the same without them does it?

It makes sense, though i dont expect this type of thread to end well.

I think he must be working with Microsoft on something, he has not mentioned any other system, but he has X1 multiple times

All we need is some of that Xbox One secret sauce

I thought that said Starbucks lmao...I was like what the hell does Starbucks know that we don't.

Too bad the first DX12 games are expected to release no earlier than 18 months from now.

Just read his follow on tweets and he really is just guessing randomly...lol..

@draginol So what do you know about the PS4's API and how it compares to DX12? And is PS4's API also not fully utilizing the cores?

Brad Wardell ‏@draginol 1h
@cozomel74 I'm afraid not. The PS4 hardware is substantially better overall though.

It's just all just speculation... just shows how even a little speculation is getting press, which just shows how much the performance gap is a problem for MS.
