Tuners chime in-Closely riding knock sensors

So the cool knock sensor mechanism this engine has is obviously beneficial in terms of safety by preventing knock much more accurately.

However has anyone who has logged data actually seen if there is any performance benefit from this system in terms of ability to keep timing advanced to the maximum ability that a traditional knock system would be unable to do because of less accuracy and specificity of the knock sensing?

Essentially does this system let the computer ride the knock sensor to get max timing more so than a traditional system? And if it is possible, does the engine actually due this?

I figure that may explain the ability to continue to make more power up to 96 octane or what not
