"They are releasing a new SDK that’s much faster and we will be comfortably running at 1080p on Xbox One."


If this is true, resolutiongate was fun while it lasted.

It's FUD,a  new SDK doers not over come a 40-50% GPU compute advantage. He also acts like ps4 does not do media, the only diff between the two is hdmi-in port.

 

Ps4 tools will also improve as will OS overhead.

OT: This is all stuff we already knew, pretty much. Except for the new SDK...

What's an SDK? >_>

SDK - Software Development Kit

It's like the Operating System and Tools you use to write games.  Every time they update it, you have to test your developing game and might need to make a few changes.  It can be very good – things run exponentially faster, or bad things crash.  (Like putting a train on new tracks – it might run faster, but you want to make sure it doesn’t fall off.)

One of the things developers really liked last gen of the 360 over the PS3 was the software tools Microsoft game them.  I forget who said it but one developer said, "It was delivered on Angle Wings" or something like that.  He really liked the MS tools for checking code errors (bugs) on the Xbox 360.

The only thing that seems a bit odd, is the Xbox One uses less of the RAM than the PS4's.
