This sounds rather strange, why would Kinect be spending GPU bandwidth ? I get why itd spend processing resources and memmory but GPU bandwidth ?

Since 10% extra power is a completly ephemeral thing here cause XOne hasnt been utilised to full potential yet, Ms can simply clain games that look better next year are a result of the Kinectless secret souce.

Think about what makes xbox one's voice comands special compared to other places voice comands are featured. It's always ready to be used no matter what you're doing. Phones and computers usually have to shut down all other parts of their respective operating systems in order to focus on the voice comands.

so in the upcoming games that benifiet from this, Kinnect functions will most likely be fully disable while the game is running as a sacrifice for the boost.

what? i can skype and play games with my smartphone and my pc doesnt care if skype is running or not.(and i can play in 1080/60 with skype on)
