AMD's Mantle API, was it ported from Xbox One?

No wonder Nvidia been talking shyt. 
Yup just like @Liquid you think your smarter than the people actually working on this stuff.It will not affect you
You dudes are pitiful sometimes
that too is speculation though. it just seems the assumption is that AMD's low level PC api is similar to one of the console's low level api. I'm sure there are similarities, and shared stuff, but ultimately I think all three are probably different

I read it, but it doesn't seem that way, you running in here all defensivecan you read. That's what I said earlier.
Either way the situation is interesting. Honestly the easiest thing for everyone would be for Nvidia to switch architecture to GCN but them and Valve are going to drag AMD into a low level API war. I can only hope the porting tools arent shytty

Wait, I think I'm smarter than people actually working on this stuff, yet you're the same dude that constantly refutes what developers say in regards to the power gap between the PS4/XB1?
fukk outta here breh, if you think PC developers having low level access with hardware much more powerful than the next gen consoles will in someway benefit you then you're extremely stupid. One of the things holding back PCs truly showcasing their power are all these bullshyt abstraction layers and shytty bloated APIs, yeah, letting people code to the metal will make for some great looking PC ports for you

I would say that it might lower overall development time and energy/resources somewhat, but for a console gamer in terms of benefits thats abstract at best

Letting people code to the metal on PC may bring some ports to consoles that otherwise wouldn't be there. Letting people code to the metal on PC migh create some better ports on consoles because they spend less time doing the port so they have more time to work on console optimization. New tools for PC could mean that more devs use PC as the lead platform, which would impact console gaming in a negative way.
I never used the word benefit I said effect. And anything that's gonna effect the people making the games will effect the people playing the games regardless of platform. If you have not noticed it seems the idea behind all of this is to make devs jobs easier and to lower dev costs. That effects the entire industry regardless of platform. So yes this is significant news regardless of platform.

It won't affect you
You have said many times that the graphic difference between PS4/XB1 didn't matter to you, and that the experience will be the same even if you have to play at lower resolutions.
It wouldn't impact console gaming outside of you getting "lesser" ports which is something you clearly have already resigned yourself to anyway.

Once again if you think your smarter than the people actually working on these things, then I'm done talking to you. Literaly everyone who has reported on this talks about the effects that it could/will have on console gaming. But @Malta thinks they don't know what they're talking about.

You're smarter than the developers working on PS4/XB1 right?
Go google more shyt to form your argument, you are the queen of arguing about shyt you had no clue existed until the second you decided to respond.
Have not googled anything. You dudes are the queens of deflection and goalpost moving. You said it won't effect consoles, and there is a direct quote from amd debunking your false assertion. So you jumped to a whole other subject to deflect.
And the developers working on both ps4 and Xbox have said that there wont be much of a difference in the performance of the games. Even the dev that supposedly said ps4 was 50% faster also said, that doesn't mean games will look 50% better. He also said in some cases games could still look better on Xbox. But once again y'all think you are smarter than the devs, and you think you can look at some incomplete specs on paper and tell exactly what performance will be like without benchmarks or anything.
