truthiness on 18 November 2008
Yeah, in geneal goddog is right, but the cell is sort of a special case. Being in order would normally mean less memory and cache needed, just because the machine is going to be waiting on certain things to get done, but when you scale up the cores and don't add an L3 cache or take any other measures to deal with cache coherency, you're going to end up needing a lot more RAM.
The truth is that both 360 and PS3 are a bit ram starved for what they want to do, but that's true of most consoles since RAM is initially a big cost.
