now i know that this might not have much to do with videogames, but its the closest category i could find. Amd was releasing something called manlte which is supposivly going to improve game performance, and it was supposed to come out in december, but was pushed to january. Its almost the end of the january, and im just curious whats going on with it

Well do you got amd hardware? :D  I dont know if all the oldest amd's will get the mantle, and it does come first for Battlefield 4, depends on the games actually.

AMD has already released Mantle, it's a programming interface (API) that software developers can use, so it's out of their hands now.

BF4 is supposed to be the first game that will utilize it, but DICE/EA has been pushing back that patch since last year, there will probably be another delay. If EA is willing to push back their own games' expansions they sure as hell won't be applying anything from any other company until they sort their own stuff out.

Certain games are being written with Mantle in mind atm though so we'll see those games out as the year passes, the next Thief game is said to utilize Mantle and AMD's TrueAudio.

yeah you'll be fine then, but it will depend on how fast or slow the game developers decide to either implement patches (like BF4) or develop games utilizing Mantle
