Xbox One reserves 10 per cent of GPU power for multitasking, Kinect
That's according to Xbox One engineer Andrew Goossen, who told Eurogamer, "Xbox One has a conservative 10 per cent time-sliced reservation on the GPU for system processing. This is used both for the GPGPU processing for Kinect and for the rendering of concurrent system content such as snap mode."
He went on to explain, "The current reservation provides strong isolation between the title and the system and simplifies game development - strong isolation means that the system workloads, which are variable, won't perturb the performance of the game rendering."
Microsoft recently confirmed it has increased the Xbox One's CPU clock speed from 1.6 GHz to 1.75 GHz, and upped the console's GPU clock speed by around 6.6 per cent.
Goossen goes on to say that Microsoft aims to free up some of that 10 per cent of reserved power to developers in future, offering a further increase in the system resources available to them.
"In the future, we plan to open up more options to developers to access this GPU reservation time while maintaining full system functionality," said Goossen.
Microsoft has confirmed an Xbox One release date of November 22, 2013 in 13 markets. The Xbox One price has been set at £430 / €500 / $500.

Monster-MunchRelentless757 BF4 and other games will probably still run at 60 FPS.
Maybe 70 but it will most likely be 60
No game on console is going to run at 70fps that doesn't even make any sense.

I've never seen 70 before, so please do not make things up.

Pashtun That makes the PS4 60% more powerful instead of 50.
Good for PS4. But guess what? It's not how much more powerful it is, it's how they utilize it. PS4 might be 90% less powerful for all we know, it just depends on how it's used. And more than likely, no games with surpass X1's capabilities by the time the next generation of consoles are released.

tbyeahMooses I don't mind,multi platform games will be made to the lowest denominator anyways.
Exactly. How do people not realise this.
People don't like admitting they're wrong in anyway shape or form.
But PC's graphics will be far superior.
