nightsurge said: Btw, did Sony specifically announce GDDR5 Ram in the conference, or just say 8GB of Ram? I just want to be sure that Sony themselves specified which type of RAM they were using as that makes a huge difference here. |
The official specs and the guy in the conference said GDDR5.
I read in the gaf the today price of a single GDDR5 512MB module is ~$8... so 16 x $8 = ~$128 a increase of ~$64 form the old 4GB design... and that the price for a single chip buy... not mass production or any lifetime deal contract made by Sony with the manufacuturer.
In the others words... the cost for Sony can be less than $8 per chip... or $128 per console.
DDR3 is alot cheaper.
