I am refering to unified Ram which is just way more efficent and will come for PC in the future, also CPU GPU communication is better so in a sense they are ahead. The Chip Architecture is the same but bringing it all together has certain advantages. PC has the better parts but the overall system design can be improved.

PC had unified memory systems for decades, what do you think APU's are? What about any system with an IGP? The memory isn't split on such systems, the PC had unified memory systems far before the consoles, infact it was invented on the PC first.
Unified Ram also has downsides, for starters, the bandwidth is shared, you get memory contention etc'.

I have to disagree a bit because you couldn't use the memory for gpu or cpu as you wish with igp. And decades is also exaggerating. It was shared memory but it wasn't unified memory until APUs were made.
