Sony must have felt the need to match general storage and the relatively late change in size of RAM is forcing modifications to their design. Now, MS may be doing the same thing. They may not want the 1/2 the speed RAM combined with eSRAM on the GPU. They may realize that this setup will be harder on devs as its less base PC-like. So they could scrap the eSRAM design and go with full GDDR5. HOWEVER, there is one other point to think about. The cost. MS is including a Kinect in the box. So that may force them to stick with their current design as it reduces cost dramatically on memory which is then offset by the Kinect hardware. I don't think MS will change. |
so you think that ram changes the design of a console?
