From the short report, it seems that what they have tested is scheduler and low-level drivers.
Especially the scheduler policy has major impact on "responsiveness" of a UI, and at least
with respect to "mouse precision", it is unlikely that better hardware would change the situation.
An educated guess is in fact that Microsoft has preferred a less preemptive policy, ensuring
better computation, at the expense of worse user interaction. Given that in spite of common
knowledge they probably aren't total fools, they might have done this choice for better game
rendering...
But that's just an educated guess anyway
