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. |
You're comparing GDDR to DDR....
GDDR is for the graphics card and DDR is for the RAM
|
These consoles are using UNIFIED memory. They don't have split pools of system and gpu ram like current-gen consoles.
PS4 = 8GB Unified GDDR5 Memory.
Xbox One = 8GB Unified DDR3 Memory w/ 32MB ESRAM.
Yes, GDDR is for graphics, which is why Sony picked it for hte PS4. DDR is for general purpose computing.

DDR3 is as high as it gets for RAM.
GDDR5 is GPU ram based on DDR3.

You have no idea what you're talking about. These are consoles, not PCs.

Xbox One will not be using DDR3 RAM for the GPU.
Logic dictates it would be too much of a bottleneck to touch such low bandwidth rubbish.
