Yeah but that doesn't mean that much of Mantle is recognizeable in Vulkan, because Vulkan wanted to cover the entire range of GPU architectures (including outdated and mobile GPUs) with a single API, while Mantle was designed for modern (at the time) desktop GPUs (and specifically AMD GPUs). Vulkan basically took an elegant design and "ruined" it with too much real-word pragmatism ;)
