 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 


And yet when you see improvement on graphics during a console lifetime cycle it impact it.
Plus i think ICE works now to implement GPGPU for PS4 to be effective in 2015 (Cerny road map for GPGPU on PS4)

That has nothing to do with adding power through refining the API though. No power is being added

You see improvements over the course of a generation due to engines becoming refined and learning how to streamline things such as texture processing. This rumor indicates actual useable power is being added through the refining of the consoles API which offers universal access to all developers. While they may have improved the API a bit saying its a massive addition to power isnt the way graphics processing hardware works.


I agree with you and if you want to konw for me Thuway, Tidux and other "Insider" troll us. ;)

 

Ah keep in mind that many developper like Guerilla, Sucker Punch and many other inside Sony Worldwide Studio work with PS3 asset but upgraded for PS4. Even Naughty will do this with Uncharted 4.
