The inside of the Xbone shows multiple DDR3 RAM chips. I counted 16 in fact.

Where did you see an inside view of it? I have been on honeymoon with terrible hotel internet so I did not watch the video about the architecture of Xbox One (if that is where that was shown).

Check out Wired's site for some good stuff about it.

That's some cool stuff, thanks for that! I suppose I was thinking of traditional desktop RAM, not motherboard chips. I'm sure they had their resons for using 16 smaller chips instead of 1-2 big ones. Latency or space/motherboard arrangement perhaps.

So I guess the PS4's GDDR5 won't be a source for much larger console then after all, unless GDDR5 chips are larger in general. Really, the Xbox One is only 10% larger than the 360 which will be hardly noticeable at all. I think it is just the design of it that makes it look larger than it is. Hopefully we will see the PS4 design soon!
