The GPGPU during idle time is basically a free boost. It's like a car turbocharger which uses the exhaust gases to increase power.
Does anyone know the X1s capabilities in this area? I know the PS4s 64 compute threads (X1 has 2) really help in this idle time, as you have the full 1.84 Teraflops to use in this idle time.
My expectation: Microsoft didn't really add to the features that you get out of the box with gpgpu, mainly because of their work in other parts of the apu and their cloud focus. They can add more support in an sdk, but I don't think they can add more compute threads with a software change.
