| Zappykins said: Yes, I think that new controller will probably be the best one made yet for any gaming system. Plus who knows if they can even pull off that backwards compatibility with Gaki? Just this week they couldn't even pull off an upgrade without bricking a number of people's consoles, I have a wait and see on that promised backwards compatibly. The current Kinect it amazing, the fact that they have more than double down and make it more than twice as powerful is exciting. Most everyone that I have spoken too that has tried both systems like the Xbox One better. 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. |
GDDR5 has higher latency but easily makes up for it with the higher bandwidth, and also note that GDDR5 isn't good at multi-tasking at all, but then again it's NEVER been tested for system resources yet, and the latecny only affects the CPU, now lets put this in perspective.
A 512MB GDDR5 card will outperform a 1GB DDR3 card, albeit slightly.
PS4 will hae 7GB GDDR5 vs 5GB DDR3. The PS4's CPU will take a hit from the latency from the GDDR5, but it makes up for it with the superior GPU which is capable of handling proccesses the CPU would normally handle, and let's not forget that the CPU's in both consoles are low powered, rather weak CPUs to begin with, hence offloading to the superior GPU IF the latency affected performance, which it WILL make for up for in since GDDR5 is better for gaming. So your point...is moot.
It's clear to see that you obviously saw someone post that elsewhere and you used it for your argument, wherever it was sourced from, they're wrong.
