Discussion around AMD Mantel's performance and features.
DirectX 12 could align with Mantle, but updates are expected for both technologies. Its open-source nature will likely attract many game developers. I believe they’re advancing their efforts because Mantle already led the way. Regardless of the outcome, its main goal was to enhance other APIs since Mantle quickly took over. Intel has confirmed their CPUs will support Mantle, which would be a major advantage considering their graphics hardware is subpar. For one reason alone, Mantle seems unlikely to disappear soon. If their Iris Pro graphics adopt it, they could establish themselves as a viable entry-level option.
Before Nvidia offered support for Mantle, no such updates were available.
It all comes down to whether developers plan to add mantel to their games.
He likely referred to actual contests that incorporate it...
Isn't this still a guess? Source needed? Probably not, I believe you meant about timing.
