Final Xbox One devkits land with developers

Microsoft tweaks GPU up from 800mhz to 853mhz as it finalises its hardware plans

The final devkits for the Xbox One have made there way to developers, says Xbox corporate VP Marc Whitten.
In a podcast with Microsoft’s Larry Hryb, Marc Whitten said the computing giant was close to finalising all the specs and features for its next-gen console as the launch date approaches.

One change recently implemented since its E3 showing is to the graphics processing unit. The firm has upped the clock speed of the GPU from 800mhz to 853mhz.
Whitten added that the tweak was an example of how the firm was getting closer to realising the final performance level of the hardware and making sure it has “a great product for developers to build great games against”.
“This is the time where developers have the final devkits in their hands, and they’re really working closely with us and how things have come together,” he said.
