That's partly what Latte is for and partly why all 3 platform holders have opted for a similar architecture. Double precision floating point work this gen isn't going to be done by the CPU the way it was last gen. As for the RAM you'll find developers happier dealing with the DDR3 and ESRAM/eDRAM combination than GDDR5 due to the former having considerably less latency and leaving developers with less idle clock cycles. Latency always has been and always will be more important than bandwidth. And porting really won't be a problem for reasons I've already given. |
Which explains why all the flaship gpu's use GDDR3 over GDDR5, cause latency is more important right? Of course they don't, your argument is rather silly when it's proven that GDDR5 cards even with higher latency blow GDDR3 cards out of the water, which is why GDDR3 isn't used as a standard anymore.
I hate when fanboy's are so obssessed with a brand they begin to make things up and use non-logical arguments. No way in hell developer's will preffer 12/8GB + eDRAM over 176/gb GDDR5 RAM even with the higher latency, the GDDR5 will perform better than the GDDR3 and that's all that matters, the extra performance.
