Xbox Game Development Kit to Offer Power Optimization Options to Help Handheld Development

A new Microsoft console prototype, internally called Project Green Leaf, is in development. Xbox is using this prototype to explore bringing more Windows features to devices with limited hardware capabilities, such as those running on mobile platforms or with battery life concerns. According to information from Moore’s Law is Dead, the Xbox Game Development Kit (GDK) will include features labeled as “Power Optimized” (PO) and “Power Optimized Plus” (PO+), which are designed to improve efficiency through smart software adjustments.
