The Microsoft Xbox One video game console has seen a resurgence during the holiday season after the company temporary slashed the price to $349.99. However, the console might experience another type of revival, and that is where gaming performance is concerned.
According to a new report, Microsoft has given increased CPU performance to video game developers via a new SDK. It is not yet known how much a bump in performance this is, but it should be significant enough to help developers meet at least some of their targeted goals.
Microsoft made this possible by releasing the reserved seventh CPU core as the company continues to backtrack on its decisions made in 2013. These decisions include the Kinect taking up precious CPU and GPU performance, all of which would have been better used by video game developers.
