Phil Spencer "We knew what DirectX 12 was doing when we built Xbox One"

Every bit often as Phil Spencer does, he comes online on his twitter page and showers it with fireworks. He definitely knows how to get a oversupply going. Possibly he should be a vocaliser? Umm probably non. But he does know his Xbox and exactly how to keep the crowds morale upward. So only like every other fourth dimension, before he answered a number of questions regarding the future of Microsoft and leaving us more than interested as he finished. But there was i tweet that won the contest and in it the Microsoft boss claimed that they knew where DirectX 12 was heading when they built the Xbox Ane.

Xbox Might Get Performance Heave with DirectX 12 Upgrade

Like always, at that place is a headline for his announcement in the class of replies. This fourth dimension, it was DirectX 12 news which has the spotlight for me. When a fan asked Phil how Microsoft was going to go forward with the Xbox 1 and the new released DirectX 12, he answered simply past saying that they knew what Microsoft was doing with DirectX 12 when they built the Xbox One. Yous tin can take a await at the tweet yourself:

@ExploderMouse We knew what DX12 was doing when we built Xbox One.

Wow, this is some news. This might simply mean that Xbox One is getting the major operation boost they presented on their "Windows 10 announcement" result. But it does contradict the earlier release where Phil Spencer said that earlier that DirectX 12 will not have a major affect on the Xbox 1 console:

"On the DX12 question, I was asked early on past people if DX12 is gonna dramatically change the graphics capabilities of Xbox One and I said it wouldn't. I'k not trying to rain on everyone'due south parade, simply the CPU, GPU and memory that are on Xbox One don't alter when you go to DX12. DX12 makes it easier to do some of the things that Xbox One's good at, which will be dainty and you'll see improvement in games that utilize DX12, but people enquire me if it's gonna exist dramatic and I recall I answered no at the time and I'll say the same thing."
