We've known this for months too :D

The RAM difference is pretty huge between PS4 and Xbox One.

PS4 = 7GB Fast GDDR5 RAM for games.
Xbox One = 5GB Slow DDR3 RAM for games.

It's a big difference and it will affect the games. Xbox One will be the limiting factor for next-gen 3rd party titles. It's obvious that the entertainment focus of Microsoft had a huge effect on the design of the console. Both on the specs and the apperance of the console itself. Seriously, it looks like a DVR or set-top box.

DDR3 is as high as it gets for RAM.

GDDR5 is GPU ram based on DDR3.

Yeh people keep complaring the GPU RAM to the System RAM. They both have different jobs lol

Yes that's the case for PC, but the PS4 only has GDDR5 ram shared with the whole system, thus why the ps4 has faster RAM for everything
