I thought Mantle was to offload CPU processing to the GPU? Intel's CPUs are far superior to how their iGPUs are compared to AMD, so wouldn't this have the opposite effect?

No, Mantle is a way to address the GPU more directly, which reduces driver overhead (and thus, CPU use goes down) and optimizes GPU use (a given result can be computed faster by making use of a particular GPU's strengths).

When most graphics accelerators were mostly fixed function processors, using unified APIs to address them (DirectX, OpenGL) made a lot of sense. Now that they have all turned into dedicated computing units, something looking more like a computing language+compiler (Mantle) than a simple API is becoming quite tempting.

Thank you mitch for clearing that up. I had always understood it to be (admittedly, didn't really look all that into it, as I use NVIDIA) a way of taking CPU processing weight and placing it onto the GPU. That basic 'understanding' was 'backed up' when seeing that Mantle had more effect on the lower end CPUs than the higher end when dealing with the same card.

The reduced overhead can be used for more draw calls, but it can also reduce the drag on the CPU. This frees up more CPU cycles for the game to use elsewhere. When you've got a slower/older system that is CPU-bound, switching to a Mantle rendering path (if the developers take advantage of it) typically gives a larger boost.

The systems that will probably benefit the most from this? Laptop APUs with GCN.

Why does the author think mantle in Intel 'apu' chips would be beneficial? Mantle removes the cpu overheard (or tried too) in an effort to remove a cpu bottle neck.

That said, I Intel chips don't really bottleneck in gaming unlike Amd chips which are much weaker. Mantles appeal is that you could run a high end gpu like the 290x or 295 with a weak cpu like the Athlon fm2 chip without bottle nicking.

Intel has the opposite problem with their chips. Strong cpu and weak gpu

Intel& AMD has the history of sharing technologies & ideas. SSE/Athlon64 integrated memory controller, APU, x86, x86-64. I would not be surprise they adopt Mantle. The only one left out now is Nvidia, which isnt willing to share technology openly. I still recall Nvidia are restricting Intel chipset from having SLI compatibility when they have Nforce. All that end when intel decide to kill off their chipset business.

Mantle doesn't hardly do crap in GPU limited scenarios as demonstrated by this website and others. Any integrated GPU on die is going to be the limiter, especially on an Intel based chip.

If Intel had access to Mantle, the true benefit would be reduced CPU overhead which would allow more power for the GPU portion of the chip in thermally limited scenarios like notebooks, tablets, and mobile.

What you guys may be forgetting is that these APUs (Intel and AMD) are generally hitting thermal (TDP) limits when playing games and so throtling already. If the overhead on the CPU can be reduced, then this may leave more room for the GPU to clock a bit higher etc. Therefore, even if it only reduces the burden on the CPU part of the chips, it can improve the performance of the limited GPU parts of the chips by allowing more boost room.

actually this is not new. i heard about intel has been asking mantle spec in forum discussion before but note in article above that intel says they have been asking for several times. why they repeatedly asking AMD for it? because AMD has denied intel request. AMD so eager for game developer to take mantle but when hardware vendor ask for the spec (well AMD has been touting mantle to be Open since day one) their response was "we cannot give you the spec yet since it is still beta" and at the same time they have no problem inviting game developer to have an early look at mantle. even better they already have two commercial games running mantle right now. did you still call it beta when there are already commercial games running your tech? if AMD accept intel request since day one maybe intel can help them refining Mantle 1.0 spec. even better Mantle might work on intel igpu by the time they release the spec to the public. why AMD cannot give other hardware vendor the spec now? why need to wait for a year to release it? what did they afraid of? did they afraid they lose the advantage being the sole company capable of running mantle for a period of time? what about future version of mantle? will other hardware vendor have their hands on deciding the spec like OpenGL or will AMD will be the only company controlling Mantle direction?

... intel cpu's work fast with old ways to do things, where is a need for a powerful cpu... but the new things to do is with not just cpu's, but gpu's and the parallel processing power of that... Mantle, APU's, OpenCL start to mature and by doing that, it shows, why a powerful CPU can get more irrelevant... rendering videos with OpenCL is more faster, than just cpu, even the most expensive one... gaming with Mantle makes the CPU part more irrelevant, but let the GPU shine, because the workload is now more direct... and now with HSA... AMD with ARM in serverspace... when you see it from different angles... intel could be the next nokia: once powerful, but then, when the shift comes, the most unprepared... so they need to know, how AMD bypasses the CPU... so they need to know, how to build the hardware, to make Mantle work... on the other hand, intel could do, what they done before... take AMD's idea, like: x86/x64; Multicore, Ghz, performance rating, APU and others, and make it better and then slap AMD with it own idea... so... it will be interesting... i hope, AMD will get some thing out of it, because we all need them well and

the guy writing this is an idiot. He says intel may want this to help its gpu play games it previously couldnt.. Here's the issue with that statement. Mantle is for CPU limited scenarios. It boost performance when the cpu is what is holding it back. Intels gpu's are almost 100% bottlenecked due to the gpu shaders and such not being very powerful. Mantle will do nothing to alleviate that situation. I expect better from these writers.

I was under the impression Mantle improved games with weaker cpu's, not so much because it 'reduced the load' on the cpu,but because it reduced waiting or dead times on the cpu.
It does not do much for weak graphics units and less for strong processors.
I can see where this may help in low power uses but no game changer.
Once the idea to allow more direct access to the gpu was out of the bag everybody will take it up in one form or another (Nvidia already started).
Yes, it is most likely DX 12 will be re worked to incorporate something similar as it is most likely it will require more cpu power.

Some of you are assuming its all for Intels high end GPUs. They have laptop APUs etc and lower end desktop ones I think. Freeing up the high end CPUs to do more could also be beneficial.

AMD isn't sharing it yet because its in beta. If they did and it failed that could hurt it's adoption. They are getting it right first

and they can do it much better for everyone if they let other hardware vendor like intel take part in shaping the mantle spec. right now it is obvious they want to control mantle direction alone. as i said they keep calling it beta but now there already 3 games being sold using Mantle. what kind of beta is that? imagine with Mantle 2.0. if they keep the attitude they have right now they will only release Mantle 2.0 spec after a year talking about it. but in the mean time there will be 5-10 games will be release using Mantle 2.0 and AMD will be the only vendor have the capable of running it since they cannot release the spec to the public yet since it was "beta".

it is true. but there are also speculative part :D  . i heard that AMD wants to use the fact that intel has been asking about Mantle as a marketing point for game developer to adopt Mantle because big hardware vendor like intel was interested with their tech. intel most likely smell AMD game here so they made a quick respond saying that they have been asking for a few times but has been denied access each time. and then intel come up with this comment:

Quote:
At the time of the initial Mantle announcement, we were already investigating rendering overhead based on game developer feedback," an Intel spokesman said in an email. "Our hope was to build consensus on potential approaches to reduce overhead with additional data. We have publicly asked them to share the spec with us several times as part of examination of potential ways to improve APIs and increase efficiencies. At this point though we believe that DirectX 12 and ongoing work with other industry bodies and OS vendors will address the issues that game developers have noted

"AMD isn't sharing it yet because its in beta. If they did and it failed that could hurt it's adoption. They are getting it right first"

That is wrong. AMD isn't giving intel the Mantle API its because Intel repeatedly have done dirty underhanded tactics towards AMD. Intel has bought off Cinebench and whole bunch of other CPU benchmark software and rigged the coding so that Intel CPU appears to be king when in reality they could be losing to AMD. Intel compiler was made so that "If intel cpu feed X code, if other feed Y code" which Y code has a lot of junk in them making the process slower.

So why would AMD give Intel the benefit of their R&D when Intel has not put in a single cent into it when all they do is sit on the sideline and play their bias game?

This is has nothing to do whether Mantle is still in beta or in improvement process. AMD has no interest in giving its rival any advantage.

If what you said is true, then why in all tests (not benchmarks, real world tests) does Intel win? No one cares about what synthetic benchmarks say, but when you compare actual results from real world applications, Intel still wins. If what you said was true, then it would be the opposite.

Intel only wins in floating point calculations and that is important in heavy rendering work. But AMD is on equal par in other calculations and even beats Intel in terms of video rendering/editing.

Those benchmarks are not synthetic benchmarks. They just feed the cpu a bunch of codes and let the cpu work it out and determine how fast it can work under stress. Its as real as doing an actual test running a program.

Intel does not beat AMD and that is a terrible misconception. Intel is only better at some stuff and AMD is better at other stuff. This is why some people like you needs to do some research and actual thinking.

So don't tell me about efficiency and performance talk. Also its not very argumentable in terms of efficieny on TDP for Intel. It might use lower TDP but it takes at least more than 6-7 yrs to recoup that energy efficieny over AMD.

An i7 is pointless for gaming, I agree there. But when an i3 (a dual core) can outperform the 8320/8350 (8-core) in gaming, there is no doubt at all that Intel has better performance. You can buy a locked i5 for only slightly more expensive than an 8320, but that will perform better.

I would disagree that i3 dual core > than 8350. JayZTwoCents already did a comparison. Even the i5 3770k cannot match the performance in gaming compared to a stock 8320. 8350 is comparable in real floating calculations with i5 4670k. 8350 = i7 4770k in gaming.

Also don't be delusional. A dual core cannot beat an 8 core. Even a phenom series can beat the i3...

I'm sorry, did you completely miss the 20 some minute video showing how the i5 beats an overclocked 8350 in pretty much everything, with much better minimum frame rates - especially in multiplayer gaming. This has been mirrored by almost everyone except Tek Syndicate's video. Not sure how he tested an 8350 getting double the performance in ARMA, which has always been known to get better performance on Intel chips.

To say AMD is better than Intel for gaming is insane, plain and simple. Even in rendering Intel is better. Taking away price/performance, there is no reason to get AMD

Do you remember in the early 2000's when AMD was handing Intel their own ass? Shortly thereafter Intel used illegal anti-competitive actions to secure profitability in spite of this. Intel was found guilty on multiple continents and had to pay millions, but the damage was done.

Their revenue stream allow for greater developments in architecture, fabrication, and integration. AMD got a big pile of money but it doesn't mean much in the technology world when you are behind.

Intel does have the better high end parts. But they do so because they "cheated". Look at the last few generations of Intel's offerings. There have been no ground breaking or revolutionary advancements in YEARS. This is because Intel has no competition on high end desktop or mobile parts. They don't NEED to push the envelope.

If you continue to purchase Intel instead of considering other offerings that may also suite your needs, this will only continue. The best progress comes from healthy competition. Competition that Intel couldn't initially keep up with and so they tried to snuff it out.

I refuse to do business with companies that stifle competition instead of simply making the best product they can and letting the market sort it out. It is YOU the consumer that gets hurt. But people are stupid and have short term memories.

F*** Intel...

Moreover, AMD did acknowledge pure x86 power isn't their primary focus anymore : they are focusing on HSA, reaching very impressive performance-per-watt levels on HSA-enabled tasks, all on x86-compatible SoC that Intel is still dreaming to create : I'm impatiently waiting for Kaveri-powered laptops, which will FINALLY allow light gaming, but also productivity tasks such as video or 3D rendering on laptops deserving of the name (i.e. not cooking your knees nor lasting 30 minutes or less on battery).

For pure x86-based, desktop-run applications, anything from the i5 up buries AMD's offerings in terms of speed and comfort. On mobile devices where versatility and power sipping are key, AMD has a very interesting strategy.

I'm sorry, did you completely miss the 20 some minute video showing how the i5 beats an overclocked 8350 in pretty much everything, with much better minimum frame rates - especially in multiplayer gaming. This has been mirrored by almost everyone except Tek Syndicate's video. Not sure how he tested an 8350 getting double the performance in ARMA, which has always been known to get better performance on Intel chips.

To say AMD is better than Intel for gaming is insane, plain and simple. Even in rendering Intel is better. Taking away price/performance, there is no reason to get AMD


The ignorance is strong with this one.

With me? You've given no proof to backup what you've said, and in this case the proof needs to come from you. It's pretty much a universal truth that Intel is better, maybe for bad business reasons, but still better. Then out of nowhere you come and say that it takes an i7 to equal the 8350 in gaming? That right there shows your ignorance, not mine. If AMD was, in fact, better, there would be absolutely zero reason to buy Intel CPUs, seeing as how they are always more expensive. Your argument has no ground.

I really don't need proof because when you immediately claim that "all intel > amd" that is pretty evident you are delusional intel fanboy. Even if I prove it to you in actual testing you wouldn't believe it. This is why the gaming and tech industry is going downhill. It harbors too much retards like you.

Sure lets all buy intel and nvidia and let them continue charging us ridiculous prices and marketing bullshit like that Titan Z and devil cannon.

Well, you did make some claim to topics that just aren't what the community generally sees. The onus is on you to provide sources if you want your argument to hold credibility. Just saying it, doesn't give it validity.

Look, both sides massage their drivers to produce better results in benchmark utilities. This has been known and well documented for years. I absolutely loved my AMD 700Mhz Slot A Thunderbird, back in the day. I've had an i-7 for the past 5 years and see no great reason to "upgrade".

Provide sources or don't. Just don't get upset when you're challenged on claims with nothing to back them up.

I'm not upset when I'm challenged, because I love being challenged. But in this case it is pointless to prove it to people that outright claims "intel destroys everything that AMD has" which is plain ignorance. It is like talking to console fanboys on whether PS4 or xbone is better or those people that claim Nvidia outperforms Radeon.

These articles explains the reasons why intel is not necessarily better when it comes to real cock fights between CPU performance in real settings.

http://www.techspot.com/review/712-arma-3-benchmarks/pa...
http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/451/AMD_FX-Series_FX-8...
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/170023-amd-vs-inte...

Looking at techspots review on FX 8350 vs i7 4770k on Arma 3, which is an extremely terrible optimized game that performs better with single core performance, the FX 8350 is equal to i7 and beats it logically considering the fact i7 + mobo cost at least $250 more than what you can build for AMD.

So to Mr.Delusional BleedingEdgeTech, he is so wrong and biased on his claims that i7 beats all.

I said Intel wins because they do. It's not being a fan boy when it's a fact. Like I said, if you take out price to performance, Intel wins. Taking into consideration price to performance, AMD wins pretty much every time. If you want the the best performance, it has been proven time and time again that Intel performs better. If you want the best performance for your dollar, AMD is the best.

Gaming is going downhill because people like you see an '8-core CPU with 8GB of GDDR5 RAM' and think that's amazing performance, while the real gaming community gets held down with it.

You can call me a fan boy all you want, but there is plenty of evidence everywhere to back it up, while there is no backup to what you're claiming, except random tests that are very skeptical to begin with (again, getting double the performance in ARMA with an 8350 just does not happen, so not sure where that came from).

Again, nowhere in your posts have you cited anything other than the 8350 beating an i3. I, however, have cited a multitude of real world tests showing the i5 beat the 8350 (let alone an i7) in almost every one.

Per Tom's own testing, the 8350 hung with the i5 new games like Watch Dogs. This is due to the fact that developers need to take advantage of many threads in order to deal with the 8 piss-ant Jaguar cores of the Xbone and the PS4. This will only escalate going forward. AMD owns this generation of consoles with both CPU and GPU architectures. The gamble paid off.

Intel is a company that currently has the best products and as an AMD enthusiast, I will easily admit this. However, I will not let a single dollar of my money go to Intel if I can get an AMD product that meets my needs. The alternative is letting Intel and Nvidia charge whatever they want because they have no competition.

F*** Intel and their anti-competitive tactics that they've been convicted of on multiple continents.

It is pretty easy to find conflicting information, especially with a narrow scope. Generally, if you have a fat wallet and want top performance, you... we are buying Intel. Resorting to the childish name calling does nothing for your case.

And ladies and gentleman of Tomshardware, I hereby present this Darwin Award to Mr.BleedingEdgeTek for a fasntastic reply in proving my point delusional people will disprove any sort of "evidence" you provide when they are so f*cking stuck up their own asses.

You can deny you are not delusional or not a fanboy, but REALITY stands. You ask for evidence, i provide you with it and then you quickly turn around to disprove it because you dislike the fact you are wrong.

Mhmm, thank you god for making inbred retards, it really helps others to distinguish between what mental illness is and what is normal


You do realize I'm the only one who has actually provided any backup for what I've said right? All you've contributed is stupid little insults. So by your logic, you're the inbred moron here, not me.


Oh so im the inbred moron when I've provided to you that i7 is not necessaily better when FX 8350 rivals it in performance. But you come back and say some stupid shit like "it doesnt make sense, don't know where you get this info".

Its not me shitting on the facts, its you denying it. End of story.

And further talk with you will give me brain cancer from your stupidity.


It is pretty easy to find conflicting information, especially with a narrow scope. Generally, if you have a fat wallet and want top performance, you... we are buying Intel. Resorting to the childish name calling does nothing for your case.









Rofl, its not about confliction information, its about his ignorance to immediately deny. I like you people trying to justify your i7 like intel marketers.

I'm not trying to justify the i-7. Just about every review and OC tutorial I read before purchasing the i-7 did that for me. I over-payed, granted, and have done next to nothing to justify the expense of the i7-920 at the time which was about $280~ or so in May of 2009. The performance and longevity of this chip has exceeded my expectations. BTW, the 8350 would beat out the i-7 920 in a majority, if not most of benchmarks today. This is a 1st Gen QC and it is the bottom of the product line in that generation.
