THE CELL "made sense" because it was something new and different from the normal tech. This is just RAM, only "a lot" of it. 

I honestly don't know why some PS fans are using this as the new cell. It's kinda stupid imo.

It's DDR5 system ram, which is unheard of today except in graphics cards. There's no motherboard today that uses DDR5 ram modules for system ram (yet), which is twice as fast as DDR3 ram, so ya, it IS a big deal. It's not just the amount of ram, its the speed!

DDR5 and GDDR5 are too entirely different things, so don't drop the G please
