Ok all these rumors about magic hardware in the cons. Nees needs to go away.

This has nothing to do with secret hardware, this is to do with the ICE improving the coding/drivers.

Improving drivers and coding will never have a major impact on console hardware performance. The people who believe these kinds of rumors dont understand how hardware works.

Consoles by default have incredibly low access APIs and in that manner already are as close to "coding to the metal" that youll get. Thats not to say we wont see some improvement / refinement but Thuway is acting like this is a huge move and massive power boost. Refining an API in a console will not do that
