Brad Wardell is the CEO of Stardock, a software development and computer games company. In a recent post on neowin, Brad explained how DirectX12 would benefit the PC and Xbox One. It was his statements about the Xbox One however that drew the most attention.  In this commentary, we’ll examine his statements and also compare what others in the industry have said about DX12.

The results are spectacular. Not just in theory but in practice (full disclosure: I am involved with the Star Swarm demo which makes use of this kind of technology.) While each generation of video card struggles to gain substantial performance over the previous generation, here, the same hardware will suddenly see a doubling of performance.

XBox One is the biggest beneficiary; it effectively gives every Xbox One owner a new GPU that is twice as fast as the old one.

Go Xbox One! The ultimate Next Gen system!

So, with the hidden GPU, that's 3 GPUs on the Xbox One? Dayum!

If this is true, then it is great news for all xbox one gamers.. I hope they can show us this come holiday 2015...or at least start

I will believe it when I see the performance double. But to be honest it doesn't really matter to me, I am quite happy with the X1 as it is. (minus a few bugs/annoyances with kinect.)

But will we get to taste the power of this secret sauce before 2020?!

Moore's Law

Oh, for God's sake! Not another time...

Really awesome news. Little bit of a wait before we get the extra benefits of DX12 but im sure the devs will makes great use of it. Good job MSFT.

Honestly if it doesn't happen soon then the damage will already be done, X1 is gonna get the stigma of having inferior multiplats and people will always just assume PS4 has surperior multiplats and buy them on there, similar thing happened to PS3, but it wasn't as bad.
