However, since all WiiUs have to perform identically, the Hynix chips will obviously be programmed to perform identical to the Samsung gDDR3 parts. Note that the Samsung chips perform at 17GBytes/s, this does not necessarily mean the WiiU does it at that speed, they could be clocked at 12.8G/s (but then why buy expensive Samsung chips when cheaper, slower ones do the job?). Until someone actually measures the locks, we don't know. |
I get it now... it's common to use two memory manufacturer in consoles (for drive and HDD too)... I agree with you the two have to perform the same so the real bandwith lies in 12.8GB/s to 17GB/s... not good.
The eDRAM have to do miracles now.
