I'm pretty sure this gen put the final nail in Kinect's coffin. While I think its kinda cool and have enjoyed playing a few games on it, I would rather have had it at least optional.
Microsoft: DirectX 12 performance up to 50% better than DirectX 11

It should have been optional.
I know this will contradict my earlier comment, but I wouldn't be surprised if MS has voice capability built into the console and controller next-gen. It is pretty much the only Kinect feature this gen that people praise.
Totally agree. Voice I'm sure will be a standard feature, and in no way requires the Kinect camera functionality.
They better have a camera available. I use gestures all the time. I don't want to touch the controller unless I am gaming.
There is a time and place for that........... like right now....

I don't know what to make of him.
His Twitter sig says this:
@MSFTresearch Employee: CET on Crackdown(3). Game Concept art designer at ACC. Meanwhile ill be updating u on everything @Xbox @Windows
He has tweeted with Aaron Greenburg, and so far no one has questioned his sig. He doesn't predict much, but tends to give hints here and there. He'll also occasionally post blurred screenshots of games he is playtesting, so he can be entertaining to follow.
And he has also stated the games he is currently playtesting are doing 1080/60 'easily', and has tested X1 games running in 4k.
Make of it what you will but anything of interest I will put up for discussion.
Let's be brutally honest: should DX12 actually make a difference in Xbox one games--a distinct, visual difference in performance or even graphics, it WILL, I repeat WILL be vilified, over analyzed and decimated to a seedy, back alley myth. Like Bloody Mary. It's going to be ridiculous no matter what happens.
4K on the hardware inside these pathetic little boxes...nah, I just do not see it.
2D games at 4K sure, or very simple 3D sure, but they sure as s*** aren't going to be cutting edge
.
Well, while we're being honest...
DX12 won't make any distinct difference in Xbox1 graphics.
Because it's all a seedy, back alley myth conjured up by crazy Xbox fanboys and Sony haters.
XboxOne will always be the 900p machine for most multiplats that push for 1080p on PS4.
"Magic Sauce", "Extra Hidden Layers in Chips", "Power of the Cloud" and all that nonsense.
Btw, what happened to that crazy guy that was here prior to the new consoles releasing, who was adamant that the XboxOne was the most powerful console in the galaxy? Had all kinds of techno-babble to reinforce his beliefs. He still around to eat crow?
It was already stated by Stardock that DX12 on the Xbox One will make a substantial improvement in graphics.
I gotta say; I think the X1 is plenty powerful myself. I have no qualms. And Im not saying Dx12 will or will not make a difference. Truth of the matter is that no one really knows whats going to happen. However, IF IT DOES show significant increase in performance or even graphics, it will be downplayed horrendously on the forums. You know it, and I know it. By time the dust settles from this upcoming massacre, Pac Man (Yes, I do mean the 80's version...) will have accomplished more in the performance and visual aesthetics realm without the help of DX12.
In sooo many ways, its going to be a double edged sword for many.
P.S.
I'm not sure where that guy is these days. Probably somewhere not giving an ounce of f*** on the matter, eating KFC. I dunno....
I've read countless articles on what DX12 is supposed to do. But even if it does make a difference, it wont make a difference. Intiendes?
Future GPU will put data prefetcher on to GPU
Current GPU/APU, include PS4 dont have any of it
=================================
Xbox one have it

HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMAN,
I WANTED TO COME BY AND GIVE YOU GUYS A QUICK UPDATE ON DX12.
FIRST OFF DX12 WILL NOT HELP THE XBOX ONE CONSOLE HARDWARE.DX12 WILL HELP THE DEVELOPMENT OF GAMES ON AND FOR THE XBOX ONE CONSOLE.DX12 WAS DESIGNED TO GIVE DEVS FULL CONTROL OF THE CPU,GPU AND ESRAM.IT WAS DESIGNED TO HELP MAKE THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS ON XBOX ONE EASIER AND QUICKER.WHILE LETTING DEVS ACHIEVE THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE XBOX ONE.YOU GUYS KNOW HOW ABOUT THE FINER CPU CONTROL OF THE CPU CORES.SO I WILL NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THAT.
IT WILL ALSO GIVE DEVS BETTER CONTROL OVER TILING THE TILE RESOURCES AND THE FRAMES THAT ARE RENDER FROM GPU.IT WILL GIVE THEM GREATER FRAME RATE BUFFERS ALSO WHICH WILL HELP IN ATTAINING HIGHER RESOLUTIONS.
ONE THING THAT WILL BECOMING AFTER DX12 LAUNCHES ON XBOX ONE IS GPU MULTI THREADING.NOW THIS MULTI THREADING WILL BE USED IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.THE MULTI THREADING AND THE DUAL GRAPHIC COMMAND PROCESSORS IS WHAT STARTED THE DUAL OR TWO GPU RUMOR.IN A SENSE WITH THE MULTI THREADING GPU CORES THE GPU PERFORMS TO A CLOSE LEVEL LIKE A DUAL GPU SET UP.THE PROBLEM IS IT CAN NOT BE USED IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
NOW THE QUESTION I AM ASKED A LOT.....HOW MUCH WILL DX12 HELP GAMES ON AND FOR XBOX ONE....THE ANSWER IS....
IT DEPENDS ON THE DEVELOPER.DX12 IS LEAGUES AHEAD OF ANY DX BEFORE IT.DX12 USED WITH THE XBOX ONE HARDWARE SHOULD MAKE GREAT PERFORMANCE GAINS.AALL DEVS SHOULD USE IT,IT MAKES THEIR LIFE EASIER AND GIVES THEM A LOT OF TOYS AND CONTROL THEY HAVE ASKED FOR.IT JUST BOILS DOWN TO THE OLD SAYING.YOU CAN LEAD THE HORSE TO WATER,BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM DRINK.IF DEV USES DX12 AND XBOX ONE TO THE MAXIMUM CAPABILITIES YOU WILL HAVE A TRUE NEXT GEN EXPERIENCE!
IT IS HARD TO PUT A PERCENTAGE ON IT BECAUSE OF THE XFACTOR THE DEVELOPERS THEIR SELF.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS LEAVE THEM IN THE POST AND I WILL TRY TO ANSWER AS I HAVE FREE TIME!
ALSO IF YOU WATCH TWITCH.TV GO GIVE MILKEY A FOLLOW AT THEMISTERPHENIX
ALSO IF YOU GOT A ? AND I DONT RESPONDED ON HERE FAST ENOUGH FOR YOU TWEET MILKEY @themrphenix

NO.IT'S A SINGLE GPU.THE CORES OF THE GPU SUPPORT MULTI THREADING IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.IN THEORY IT CAN PERFORM IN SOME SITUATIONS LIKE A DUAL GPU,BUT IT IS NOT A DUAL GPU.IT WILL NOT PERFORM THIS MULTI THREADING ALL THE TIME,RIGHT NOW IT IS VERY LIMITED.

I think you mean "capisce." "Intiendes" doesn't mean anything in Italian that I know of.
