Xbox One GPU speed has been increased since E3, says Microsoft

Microsoft corporate vice president Marc Whitten speaks about some changes and additions Microsoft has made to the Xbox One since E3, including a 53mhz bump to the GPU speed

Microsoft corporate vice president Marc Whitten has spoken about some of the changes and additions Microsoft is making to the current Xbox One development kits, including an increase to the GPU's clock speed and a new graphics driver.

Speaking on the podcast of Microsoft spokesperson Larry Hryb, Whitten said "this is the time, and this is the thing I think people are going to see as we get into Gamescom and people get their first look at new things since E3. This is the time where developers have the final dev kits in their hands, they're really working closely with us on how things have come together. There's some things that have really started to come together quite well."

Whitten also said that Microsoft's internal beta for the Xbox One was currently running, and that the hardware manufacturer was releasing daily builds for the console's operating system.

New additions to the Xbox One hardware since it was last shown at E3 include a new graphics driver and an increase to the GPU's clock speed, says Whitten.

"Since E3, an example is that we've dropped in what we internally call our mono driver. It's our graphics driver that really is 100 percent optimised for the Xbox One hardware. You start with the base [DirectX] driver, and then you take out all parts that don't look like Xbox One and you add in everything that really optimises that experience. Almost all of our content partners have really picked it up now, and I think it's made a really nice improvement."

"This is the time where we've gone from the theory of how the hardware works--what do we think the yield is going to look like, what is the thermal envelope, how do things come together--to really having them in our hands. That's the time where you start tweaking the knobs. Either your theory was right dead on, or you were a little too conservative, or you were a little too aggressive. It's actually been really good news for us, and an example of that is we've tweaked up the clock speed on our GPU from 800mhz to 853mhz."

An upclock of that weak-ass GPU from 800MHz to 853MHz jumps it from 1.23TFlops to a 1.3TFlops. :lolbron:

As far as the insider on GAF, CBOAT only said their was yield issues. He never said shyt about about a downclock. The downclock rumors were all speculation.

This might be true. I wonder how much performance gains would be gotten from a small boost such as that though

yea, their other "insiders" said a downclock was possible.

All this means is Meach can shut up about the leak specs, because this confirms that they are right on. So Meach stop it with we don't know, we do know in a round about way he just admitted what was on the VGLeaks spec sheet with going from 800mhz to 853mhz and the 3GB's for OS. Now that I got that out of the way.

Good Job MS 53MHz and better drivers.

Marc Whitten MS Tech. Dir. in one interview confirmed 3GB's for the OS, and now states the GPU clock has gone from 800 to 853.

Yeah you can tell the PS4 reveal with the inclusion of additional RAM coupled with the Spec Leak caught MS off Guard. I was thinking along the lines of MS as well, Sony is deep in the red and there is no way they would be able to compete with MS, somehow Sony went full boar.
