DirectX 12, the latest version of the Microsoft API, takes your game to 2029 by tapping into all the cores of your multicore CPU simultaneously.

[Censored] PC low-priority development and rushed porting if it's going to take until then before we see some actual progress with core usage above quad. :P (What was the support period for the XBO anyways? 2025 or some such originally no? although now with the slightly updated slim version and slightly more updated - and higher priced. - Scorpion model that could potentially change...) And yeah I know they're probably just spinning it on how DX12 (Vulkan what?) is the future and that sort of thing heh. EDIT: Or I might have misunderstood and this is the expected time period until AMD catches up to Intel... 😀 (Which whenever it happens will be nice to see some actual competition again and perhaps more aggressive pricing if AMD can catch up at least slightly.)

Hmm, I've been a little interested in getting that game, and one of those CPUs. Makes the decision a little bit easier I guess haha. But obviously I need to see benchmarks before I decide to buy the CPU. EDIT: Apparently there could be a Linux release too, which is great for me.

i wish can claim directly from AMD, cuz im running FX 6350 nao 🙁 why must it be new purchase onlyyyy

Half realize this is designed to help clear out the channel from these cpus, but cannot help but think somehow this is tied to a release delay for Zen. Been waiting for Zen before completing the new rig. EDIT: How can AMD mention dx12 when this is a thread of discussion: " No DX12 Support for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at Launch" They are going to mention the benefits of dx12 when the game is not going to have support for it at launch. Their marketing department looks to still being run by chimps.

It's out less than two weeks after launch. It's not exactly a disaster. This is going to be a DX12 game after all.

Holy mackerel! Got a source for that? I'll buy that game at full price if there's a decent Linux release!!!

Here's where I heard it from: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Deus-Ex-MD-Linux-Possible And here's the reasoning for the rumor: https://steamdb.info/depot/337015/ (change the URL to 337000 to see the full package list)
