Hopefully he will show benchmarks, or at least some general indications about performance gains vs DX11 in 1st version of mantle that will come out in a month's time.

Porting time/man-hours and similarity to console APIs are also important.

/will follow liveblog

Looks like it is way more than CPU overhead reduction.


Looks like it changes completely how games engines work...

Seems like engines need to be re-engineered for best performance

Indeed, though the good thing is a lot of games are built off common engines, as long as CryEngine, Unreal, Source, etc... support mantle, it's all gravy from there on.

Good presentation, he explained a lot how Mantle works. Its not bound to GCN, it can work with nVidia also if they get permission/manpower to adapt it.

They are still working on BF4 Mantle implementation, release window is late December.

Summary:

- MULTI-VENDOR IT essentially means Nvidia is onboard
- OPEN Repi said he wants other developers to take part in developement
- All frostbite games will be Mantle enabled and in FUTURE BUILD FOR MANTLE MAINLY
- BIG CPU IMPROVEMENT "With mantle CPU won't be problem anymore"
- BIG MULTICORE/GPU IMPROVEMENT 8 GPUS in single PC, VR -1 GPU per eye, fixed a lot of problems with SLI/CF setups.
and more


oh and:

- STEAMOS + MANTLE = ROCKET PERFORMANCE

He also mentioned that the implementation is surprisingly cheap - only 2 months of work. 1st half harder to get the engine running, 2nd half much easier to optimize everything.
