Understanding why Xbox One doesn't need GDDR5 RAM

Seriously dude, just give up. You're obviously wrong and this thread is going in circles.

Your OP is simply a case of confirmation bias.

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.

If XBone used GDDR5 RAM it would improve overall performance. ethomaz has already shown that lower speced cards have gained significant advantages in using GDDR5 to DDR3 and if memory serves, tech sites were already complaining about the bus width throttling the 7770's overall performance.

MS would have improved performance with GDDR5 and the 256-bit bus rather than 32mb eSRAM+DDR3, not to mention the ease for developers.
