Not gonna happen, too risky.
(RUMOR) Xbox One GPU reserve getting smaller soon, down from 10% to 2%

Not gonna happen, too risky.
Infinity Ward asked for this in June
If this 8% is indeed part of the Snap reserve, I'd assume at this point MS is just saying "fuck it, let the user take the performance hit if they snap while playing." If that's the case, then I'd speculate they've got some numbers for people regularly using snap while playing games and found it to be an insignificant, inconsequential count.

I like taking risk, do it MS.

How is it too risky? It's not like they would release such a software update with out putting it through it's paces before being released.

now get rid of the camera and let us do voice commands over the mic.
"Some" is one thing. Dividing the reserve by FIVE is a whole other thing altogether.

it is, I remember that, I wonder if its too late to patch what they wanted.

Yes, there was news that kinect was part of the reason why COD couldn't get to 1080p so that makes sense.
Anyway, as I said before this is good news. No point in making games that aren't "kinect only" suffer.
And in terms of "Snap", I only snap my Xbox Live activity feed which shouldn't take much power since it's a basic menu with text. So if they changed up snap, it probably wouldn't be removed completely. They would probably let devs decided on video snapping especially since that can kill immersion from heavy action packed games. I only use(d) snap TV for smaller games like Peggle 2 -- games which don't require your full attention.
I guess MP games could have it set up so that people can only snap video when in menus/lobbies. Don't know, but I personally feel that devs should decide if users should have that function of snap while playing their games.

Continues to boggle my mind that some people can't read Cboatese. Even a single quick sentence like that.
Anyway, this is good news. Rising tide lifts all games. (That's the saying, right?)

This doesn't like it would make much of a difference but I guess MS is now understanding just how deep they dug themselves. They don't have the first party studios to stand on, and now they don't have better looking third party games like last gen. Pretty bad position to be in.

why is too risky?

How?

Why doesn't the number STAHP?!?
MS wouldn't do a post-launch overclock for the same reasons I outlined here. (Just replace Sony/PS4 with MS/Xbox)

Let alone the silicon might not even be able to reach higher clocks on a large scale. That's why PC overclockers order a couple of CPUs and GPUs to try and find the one which is able to maintain stability at a much higher clock.

LOL! I missed it.
Clockwork

Which is what happened during development when the clock they shipped at was decided upon.
You don't just come out months later and go let's just bump up the clock speed as if it is just some inconsequential thing.
Uh, LOL
I didn't notice until you pointed out
"I was sacked for this in June" does make sense, too, no?
The basic menu stuff should stay but I wonder if they will cut back on video snapping.

That game doesn't look demanding,i doubt its because of that. Either way it looks like MS cleaned house with the people who caused a clusterfuck and now the right people are fixing what they can.

come on guys use common sense.
ms isn't going to do a clock bump. that would be suicide without mass testing for failure before the product reaches the consumer.

lol i don't think it will make much difference, but its an improvement nonetheless
Well, hopefully this comes with a much, much needed complete overhaul of the party system.
What exactly do you expect them to do? Issue a revision and then say, "Sorry early adopters, your Xbones aren't up to snuff, you need Xbox One Point Five. Time to rebuy!"

They already did a clock bump one month before launch.

Slow down...
No. It's just much (much) easier to turn party chat on via snap vs. having to go all the way back to the friends menu.
Party chat should be on by default either way though. Hopefully that will be coming in the update.

Who said this generation would be 8 years? I'd say a 5 year upgrade to the same x86 architecture is both doable and likely.

Wasn't there also another 10% they were going to make available? Or a 10% boost of some kind? Or is this related to that?

Well they're going to have to.
At most, they'll release their next console earlier than expected.

Power level rising!
here's how it works ->
party invite notification shows up on screen
say "Xbox accept"
snap window opens up and it shows the party menu.
say "Turn on party chat"
i guess you could press the home button and do it the long way.

The same 10%
