No. Had they gone with 6 GDDR5 and 2 DDR3 it would of been a better option... Or even a 4/4 split... but all that ram should be helpful especially as games move away from being pure gaming related.
8 was definitely a better choice over 4. |
The new AMD APUs uses the HSA for shared memory... there is no option for two types of memory.... Sony have trouble with separated memory pool with PS3 and a shared memory like the used in the APU give to developers more options and control over what they develop... but I have certain you know that. |
The PS3's seperated memory pool was a problem because... they didn't have ENOUGH memory... it was designed poorly.
The PS3 had two seperate 256 pools of Ram.
Even with 4GB, Shared makes sense.
8GB? Makes a hell of a lot more sense to have different "specialist" Rams working on what they do best.
I mean... it's common sense.
