I don't see how DDR5 RAM is the new Cell.
SCE isn't using it as a marketing bullet point on account of the fact that most consumers don't know and won't care about the differences.
SCE spent an assload of money developing the CBE and tried to use that as a marketing point to techies. They didn't invent DDR5 memory or its use by video cards.
DDR5 is what's used in top end VGA cards for the performance boost. The DDR5 in the PS4 is split between the CPU and GPU. In other words, it's used by the GPU.
We don't feel the need to defend the use of cheaper DDR3 memory in lower end VGA cards so why are we doing this now?
