Comments on: AMD’s Mantle Efforts Come to an End http://www.vrworld.com/2015/03/05/amds-mantle-efforts-come-end/ Thu, 09 Apr 2015 17:57:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: ( ) http://www.vrworld.com/2015/03/05/amds-mantle-efforts-come-end/#comment-10590 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 18:34:00 +0000 http://www.vrworld.com/?p=49089#comment-10590 The big winner is the consumer. Mantle demphasizes the importance of the CPU which is not something that Intel is particulalry pleased about.

The other imapct of Mantle will be to eliminate the need for the mid range graphics AIB for most computer users. Some will absolutely have to have the bleeding edge
.
In fact about 90% of the Laptops sold do not have discrete graphics but rather are Intel IGP or AMD APU’s.

The percentages for dektops run probably about 30-40% have no GPU AIB.

Hopefully it’ll be used to its full potential as part of those APIs.
