AMD's New Mantle API has been specifically designed to take full advantage of the GCN (Graphic Core Next) technology from AMD. It can do so by being a far "lower level" API than say DirectX's Direct3d. OpenGL and DX operate as a very high level, and don't allow games developers to take full advantage of the unique architecture of the GPU. High level API's suffer from numerous issues - including extremely high overheads compared to coding "to bare metal". Mantle reduces the levels of abstractions....
