10% of a modern octa-core processor to listen for simple voice commands? Thats insane! I know its not super powerful but still.

Lets hope they use that to try to get games running at a decent resolution at 60FPS but i bet you they use it for slightly higher res textures and to fire more brightly colored bloom into our faces.

I think i will just stick with my pc thanks then i can turn off whatever i want whenever i want.

I wonder if turning off skype will make my games run 10% faster? HEy then they will run at 66FPS at 2k instead of 60 :p

Wow, devs can turn kinect off? It will probably only get them 2-3 FPS in a performance boost
