[5389.04 --> 5389.32] Right.
[5390.42 --> 5393.18] UBC. University of British Columbia StarCraft club.
[5393.32 --> 5401.80] They're all kids that are going to UBC and also enjoy playing StarCraft and some of them are really good and could probably make it professionally but are also going to UBC.
[5401.80 --> 5405.22] Yeah. So have a backup plan, I guess, is the main point of this.
[5405.38 --> 5406.22] But then watch that.
[5406.24 --> 5411.06] Holy crap. We could almost do... We got sidetracked today. We could almost do a whole other show.
[5411.08 --> 5411.36] I know.
[5411.60 --> 5413.58] On, like, some of this stuff in here.
[5413.74 --> 5416.98] Yeah. We went from not enough topics every week to...
[5416.98 --> 5418.20] Like, way too many.
[5418.56 --> 5418.80] Yeah.
[5419.08 --> 5424.14] Oh, new CPUs from Intel. Okay, we're going to have to, like, blitz this stuff, you guys.
[5424.60 --> 5426.70] So Intel's looking at doing an unlocked...
[5426.70 --> 5428.42] Oh my god, we haven't done any VR yet.
[5428.42 --> 5433.78] I know. We have done none of the VR and none of the improvements to DirectX 12 and OpenGL.
[5433.88 --> 5434.30] Oh god.
[5434.34 --> 5437.36] Like, we're screwed. Okay, guys, we're going to have to just blitz this stuff.
[5437.46 --> 5439.42] Unlocked Pentium 20th Anniversary Edition.
[5439.84 --> 5441.94] We're going to be getting an 8-core Core i7 Extreme.
[5442.48 --> 5449.38] And Intel is talking about fixing the thermal interface material issue that they've had with some of their processors,
[5449.86 --> 5452.54] giving you better temperatures and hopefully improved overclocking.
[5452.54 --> 5454.42] Personally, I'm not expecting it to make a big difference.
[5455.00 --> 5458.00] But the fact that Intel is listening to the enthusiast community...
[5458.00 --> 5458.36] Is a good sign.
[5458.38 --> 5460.94] ...and addressing it is a really good sign.
[5461.06 --> 5461.24] Yeah.
[5461.36 --> 5464.54] Because they've basically come out and acknowledged, like...
[5464.54 --> 5466.52] They've kind of ignored you for a little while.
[5466.54 --> 5471.04] We've done some kind of crappy stuff and have not acknowledged it at all.
[5471.04 --> 5473.66] So now we're getting a proper enthusiast-grade SSD.
[5473.98 --> 5475.74] We're getting an 8-core Extreme Edition.
[5475.92 --> 5477.98] We're getting fixed thermal interface material.
[5478.34 --> 5481.22] It's like they're listening to us, and that's extremely exciting.
[5481.64 --> 5483.24] Yay, Intel. Thumbs up.
[5483.56 --> 5486.06] All right. Source here, DirectX 12.
[5487.42 --> 5488.84] That needs to start working. There we go.
[5489.54 --> 5490.64] All right. DirectX 12.
[5490.72 --> 5494.32] This is from NVIDIA's blog, where the main notes here...
[5494.32 --> 5498.26] And I'm just going to cut you guys off my screen so I can cheat and go back to my notes.
[5498.68 --> 5503.56] ...will be delivered sometime this year with enough time to see shipping titles holiday 2015.
[5504.28 --> 5506.38] Forza 5 was already poted...
[5506.38 --> 5506.88] Poted.
[5507.00 --> 5507.38] Poted.
[5507.60 --> 5507.92] Poted.
[5508.30 --> 5512.56] It was ported from the Xbox One to the PC with DirectX 12 in four man months.
[5512.64 --> 5513.60] That's not bad.
[5514.12 --> 5516.24] You could have four dudes working on it for a month.
[5516.44 --> 5517.82] Four dudes or women, whatever.
[5518.38 --> 5519.86] I meant, like dudes, like people.
[5520.52 --> 5521.38] Not trying to...
[5521.38 --> 5522.86] I'd try not to be sexist.
[5524.32 --> 5525.08] So...
[5525.08 --> 5526.88] Women in computers is becoming a bigger and bigger thing.
[5527.02 --> 5527.84] I know. I know.
[5528.06 --> 5529.12] And, like, that's good.
[5529.46 --> 5530.56] That's, like, great.
[5530.80 --> 5536.04] And I don't want to seem like, you know, male chauvinist women can't, you know, code.
[5536.32 --> 5537.22] Because they can.
[5537.48 --> 5538.10] Better than me.
[5538.10 --> 5538.28] They can.
[5538.42 --> 5542.22] One of my tutors when I was going to school was a female, and she was the best tutor I ever had.
[5542.42 --> 5546.20] That's like saying something racially insensitive and being like, one of my friends is a black guy, though.
[5547.48 --> 5548.10] Not really.
[5548.40 --> 5549.50] Okay, it's not the same thing at all.
[5551.26 --> 5551.62] No.
[5554.32 --> 5560.28] Okay, that would be like me saying the insensitive thing and being like, but I know, like, one female coder, so it's okay.
[5560.66 --> 5562.08] But I know a whole bunch.
[5562.46 --> 5562.96] Like, I know a ton.
[5562.96 --> 5569.82] Okay, anyway, the point is, Forza 5 was ported from Xbox One to PC with DirectX 12 in four people months.
[5570.58 --> 5571.14] There we go.
[5571.14 --> 5572.70] Big performance improvements.
[5573.10 --> 5579.52] DirectX 11 relied predominantly on one CPU core to do the bulk of the work, and it was able to distribute things a little bit.
[5579.58 --> 5584.24] But we've had multi-CPUs, multi-core CPUs for years, Microsoft.
[5584.24 --> 5597.74] I'm glad that you're doing this now, but I wish the sleeping bear had woken up a little bit earlier and not waited for AMD to put all this work into Mantle, which is basically, in my mind, a wasted effort at this point.
[5598.18 --> 5599.26] Oh, okay, not wasted effort.
[5600.00 --> 5602.10] Mantle looks like a dead project to me.
[5602.10 --> 5626.34] But the fact that we're able to get this improvement in the industry with Microsoft improving DirectX, giving the developers more bare-to-metal sort of ability to program for the GPUs, giving the developers the ability to dramatically scale the number of draw calls, reducing the driver overhead s...
[5626.34 --> 5635.32] This is all, in my mind, either a result of Mantle or a result of Microsoft kind of looking at what AMD was planning to do and going, oh, crap.
[5635.56 --> 5641.00] If the API isn't like DirectX anymore, then, like, why would people game on Windows?
[5641.44 --> 5641.84] Uh-oh.
[5642.82 --> 5645.20] And I'm glad that they're finally waking up.
[5645.68 --> 5646.98] And they completed a goal.
[5647.10 --> 5651.56] AMD said for a long time, if they ran away from this and maybe so that Mantle doesn't have to exist, it's okay.
[5652.08 --> 5653.40] Yep, and they did say that.
[5653.40 --> 5655.90] I wasn't sure if they were truthful about that.
[5655.90 --> 5656.56] But they said it.
[5656.66 --> 5657.24] That's true.
[5657.56 --> 5659.86] But they, yeah, regardless, they said it.
[5660.08 --> 5660.62] So that's cool.
[5660.62 --> 5667.98] So DirectX 12 could be leveraged on the Xbox One, Windows Mobile, but Microsoft has neither confirmed nor denied whether it will come to Windows 7.
[5668.84 --> 5669.10] Yeah.
[5670.58 --> 5672.54] I really wanted to, please.
[5672.70 --> 5673.80] I don't want to move up.
[5674.08 --> 5675.28] I'm completely happy with my green ecosystem.
[5675.28 --> 5678.40] Because we could be looking at orders of magnitude better performance in some ways.
[5678.56 --> 5680.04] Yeah, we'd have to change over every system.
[5680.04 --> 5683.96] Like draw calls would be 10 to 100 times improvements in performance.
[5683.96 --> 5684.96] Right.
[5684.96 --> 5686.38] And this is really exciting.
[5686.38 --> 5690.26] Hardware-wise, it's coming to any GCN AMD card.
