DirectX 12 to be used on Xbox One

4.5
The next generation version of Microsoft's DirectX API was unveiled to an audience at GDC on Thursday in San Francisco. A development manager at Microsoft, Anuj Gosalia, asserted that DirectX will be utilized across all Microsoft platforms. The Xbox One according to Microsoft will perform at least 50% more efficiently regarding CPU usage once DirectX 12 is implemented.

So does this means on the 360 as well or just all Xbox Ones in general?

DirectX12 has 50% faster CPU load. 0.03 secs while DirectX11 is at 0.06 secs.

The threading is also handled more efficiently than DirectX11. Can't wait! ^_^
