Microsoft 'improves' Xbox One GPU clock speed
Speaking on the latest Major Nelson podcast, Whitten outlined a number of changes to the system as it "gets close to the final performance envelope".
"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," he said. "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."
A mixture of optimisation software and initial conservative estimates has meant the GPU can reach 853mhz - effectively allowing developers to put more demand on the system.
"Since E3, an example is we've dropped in what we internally call our mono driver. It's our graphics driver that really is 100 per cent optimised for the Xbox One hardware," Whitten said.
"You start with the base Direct-X driver, and then you take out all parts that don't look like Xbox One and you add in everything that really, really optimises that experience. Almost all of our content partners have picked it up now and I think it's made a really nice improvement."
He continued: "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, an example of that is we've tweaked up the clock speed on our GPU from 800mhz to 853mhz."
Xbox One will be available in 21 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £425 / €499 / $499.

It's not like Microsoft is bragging about it. It was briefly mentioned in a podcast. I'm more interested in the mono driver.

How hard is it to understand this. It won't make the console any **** better. 53mhz isn't a real improvement at all. If anything it'll make it more unstable. Why up the GPU clock speed if they have the all mighty Cloud they keep on boasting?

At least they are improving the console and taking into consideration the things we say! Think, they are letting us share games, you don't have to sign in every 24 hours, and they have done a lot more.

bingbing10D3FEKTbingbing10 Literally this is a joke of an over-clock, if a PC gamer was to only be able to achieve this they would be hiding the fact not telling everyone
You can't compare a pc to a console. They're made completely differently, and you could be clocking at like 4x that of the xbox one yet it will still seem ****.
So apart from the fact that both consoles are running using an amd jaguar CPU with an app graphics solution , plus the fact that xbox one is running on a full windows 8 software and uses ddr3 ram , no this is nothing like a computer ?!!
Sorry meant apu
