I am not sure what you think my OP is stating.  I'm just saying that Xbox One would not be much more powerful with GDDR5 RAM due to specific APU design and lower GPU power compared to PS4.

I am not sure why everyone thinks I'm saying DDR3 > GDDR5 or X1 > PS4... I'm clearly not saying that.

I really wasn't expecting such a shitstorm, just wanted to end the posts saying..."If Xbox One used GDDR5 RAM it would be much more powerful". It really wouldn't. 2133 MHz DDR3 + sRAM is plenty for the 33% lower spec'd GPU in the X1.

The APU design used by MS can be debatable but even a low-end GPU using GDDR5 to increase the bandwidth almost double the GPU performance... AMD words... not mine.
