A senior Microsoft executive has revealed that the clock speed of theXbox One graphics processing unit has been increased. Speaking on the podcast of Xbox mouthpiece Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb, corporate vice-president Marc Whitten claimed that the speed had been increased from 800 to 853mhz, ostensibly providing a 6% increase in graphics processing performance.
Furthermore, Whitten has claimed that the graphics drivers provided to developers have been updated – meaning that studios should be able to better tune their code to the final architecture of the machine.
"Since E3, we've dropped in what we internally call our mono driver," he said. "It's our graphics driver that really is 100% optimized for the Xbox One hardware. You start with the base Direct X driver, and then you take out all parts that don't look like Xbox One and you add in everything that really optimizes that experience. Almost all of our content partners have really picked it up now, and I think it's made a really nice improvement."

The Xbox One keeps getting better and better. Keep the good news coming Microsoft.
