Thank you for the translation, I actually had to Google "semelhanca" for a minute there.

I know that GDDR3 is dissimilar from DDR3. That's why I said that the speed is more equivalent to DDR5. But I am almost positive that the OP is talking about the general system RAM, not the VRAM, though I admit I don't know what kind of system RAM the HD twins have.

All right, I just lookedi t up; he's not referring to DDR3, he's referring to the PS3's XDR DRAM, like you said; but the original point of the OP is about the system RAM, rather than the VRAM, so bringing up VRAM in th conversation is erroneous.

HD consoles uses VRAM memory for system too because they not need low latency... the PC needs... so the XDR (PS3), GDDR3 (PS3/360) are memory with high latency... the DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 are memory with low latency.

The speed is better in memory with high latency because that the DDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory is so slow compared with GDDR3/GDDR4/GDDR5.

DDR5 doesn't exists... just GDDR5.


I wasn't aware that the 360 didn't have discrete system RAM; I made certain assumptions about the parlance used in the OP and now I feel foolish. Ah well.
