After looking in to the XSX Machine Learning abilities, this is really going to be a big deal for the series X this next gen, on par with Nvidias DLSS.
Nvidia included Tensor Cores into their GPUs. Tensor Cores added new INT8 and INT4 precision modes for inferencing workloads that can tolerate quantization and don’t require FP16 precision.
Microsoft also added specific hardware to their GPU to allow it to do INT8 and INT4 calculations. The additions that MS made are the equal of the Tensor cores of Nvidia.
The result is that Series X offers 12tflops of 32-bit precision, 24tflops of 16-bit precision, 49 TOPS for 8-bit integer operations and 97 TOPS for 4-bit integer operations.
The Nvidia 2080ti has 14.2tflops of 32-bit precision, 28.4tflops of 16-bit precision, 56.8 TOPS for 8-bit and 113.8 TOPS in 4-bit (113.8 Tensor flops in Nvidia speak).
The XSX has the same ML abilities as Nvidia DLSS cards do.
Now there is more to DLSS than the ability to do calculations.
"The DLSS team first extracts many aliased frames from the target game, and then for each one we generate a matching “perfect frame” using either super-sampling or accumulation rendering. These paired frames are fed to NVIDIA’s supercomputer. The supercomputer trains the DLSS model to recognize aliased inputs and generate high quality anti-aliased images that match the “perfect frame” as closely as possible. We then repeat the process, but this time we train the model to generate additional pixels rather than applying AA. This has the effect of increasing the resolution of the input. Combining both techniques enables the GPU to render the full monitor resolution at higher frame rates."
Microsoft also has access to even more powerful super computers and AI than Nvidia do, and as such will have no problem to match or exceed what Nvidia can with DLSS.
Microsoft has also developed it's own API for the console end of it, namely Direct ML.
The addition of ML in the XSX is being overlooked as the game changer for Microsoft that it is.
We have seen the results that Nvidia have got with DLSS, and the same can be expected on the XSX.
On top of That MS have already said that ML is going to allow them to add HDR to back compat games that never shipped with it.
I cannot wait to see what else MS can do with this tech.
