A friend of a friend has just provided me with a new article that sheds a little more light o the subject:
"Well-placed and of course completely anonymous sources have provided us some more information on the recent gain in Xbox One memory specs.
Apparently, these "holes" in the eSRAM that for strange reasons nobody has ever discovered before, are actually kind of "Alice in Wonderland" rabbit holes that lead to a fascinating alternate Microsoft reality where the rules of reason etc. no longer apply and everything's different - a kind of wonderful upside-world that only die-hard Xbox enthusiasts can see.
In this alternate reality...
- Underclocking RAM modules does not reduce, but double their performance
- Radeon 7790 and Nvidia GTX 760 are "comparable hardware"
- Two people playing a game only bought once is destroying the gaming industry, but 11 people playing a game only bought once is a great idea
- "the cloud" is some kind of mysterious god. All-powerful, but not to be really understood. What it actually means and does may only be described in vague meaningless phrases and numbers. As it turns out, the less one understands it, the more powerful it actually is. If only you believe in the power of the cloud, you will be saved from inferior hardware specs.
- 5 billion transistors!
And this is just what Microsoft employees have found out about this alternate reality in the few weeks since the Xbox One reveal - it's very likely that they will discover even more fascinating facts. Preliminary data actually even suggests that the number of strange properties of this alternate Microsoft reality being discovered is in inverse proportion to Xbox One preorder numbers."
