Next few years are going to be awesome for PC Gamers, provided you know, devs are interested in playing around with it, of course.

Fixed that for you.

I mean seriously, you even said it in your quote. Mantle and DX12 will do absolutely nothing for actual gaming PCs which already have CPU power coming out of whatever their equivalent for ears is.

"Whatever, it seems PC Gamers can expect big performance boost with their existing hardware when DX12 arrives with MS9 OS, most likely in the first half of 2015." - PL (Paul Lilly)

You really shouldn't just 'assume' things, especially things that weren't even remotely stated in a quote, he was merely detailing how the DX12 improvements effected the CPU and integrated graphics of the machine that the demo was run on.
