I have to give credit to Sony trying, with that nice graphics card and all. But the massive latency in GDDR5, when the CPU tries to use it as regular ram, seems like they pulled another ‘cell blooper’ all over again. Not talking about a little latency either, but 7-10 times DDR3.

Why don't you enlighten this tech semi-ignorant peasant that doesn't know the advantages of both type of ram(DDR3 & GDDR5) over each other in a closed and optimized gaming platform.

Think of it as like putting a big engine in a car, then putting in a weak transmission.  The limiting factor of the transmission will limit the acceleration. 

Or a giant big stadium, where there is just two small doors to get inside.  Everyone has to wait in long lines to get in an out of the stadium.  Plenty of room inside, but a pain to get in and out.

It's the old saying, "A chain is only as strong as the weakest link.  As if that fails, it doesn't matter how hard strong the rest of the chain is."

your crappy argument is crap

"The PS4 memory system allocates around 20,000MB/s for the CPU of its total 176,000MB/s"

"the DDR3 of Xbox One is rated at around 68,000MB/s"

And you are not looking at the whole picture.  Perhaps it is just a bit beyond your current levels?
