It's GDDR3 memory, and GDDR3 memory has less latency than GDDR5 memory.

I can have a 100Mbps uplink to the Internet, but if my latency is 500ms, a 10Mbps connection with 10ms latency will always be faster.  The higher latency of GDDR5 memory undoes the performance the higher bandwidth offers.  By using eSRAM with GDDR3 memory, Microsoft more than makes up for the lower bandwidth. 

It's DDR3... and GDDR3 have high latency than GDDR5.... what the internet uplink have to do with memory bandwidth?

GDDR3 has lower latency than GDDR5, but GDDR5 has 2x the bandwidth on the same BUS.

Bandwidth-wise, GDDR5 on 256bit BUS=GDDR3 on 512bit BUS, and this fact is in noway related to the PS4 or the Nextbox, it's simply to keep you informed and so that other people reading this would not be misinformed by the post that I'm replying to.

Just to be clear again, this post has nothing to do with what the Nextbox will actually be running. What Adin was trying to say is that it'd have a faster response time, but it will carry less data at one time "IF" the Nextbox's main memory is GDDR3, which I also doubt the Nextbox will have as well considering that DDR3 is maybe only 5% slower than GDDR3.
