But does it have 8GB of GDDR5? Unified? What about an APU? No?
Nothing to see here folks.

Why would you want an APU? o_O; You can run seperate CPU and GPU and push them much harder because of better heat dissipation on different parts with good air flow since PC these days is more about brute force(why my fav cars remain to be muscle cars too, yummmm... even though I drive a hybrid lol....). Unified RAM wouldn't work with PCs due to the nature of how it works either as PCs are more app heavy so you want lower latency memory at the sacrifice of bandwidth which is why you have RAM on the GPU itself, not to mention that it's not even that much money to max out the RAM in your PC these days since I've been running 32GB for awhile now lol...... Also, where is Raid-0 on consoles? Can I attach 2 512GB SSDs to them to form 1TB of space and make them load games at 1000+MB/s? A lot to see here :D

 

Money is a beautiful thing.

Money. That's what it comes down to. You can build a $5,000 PC that makes next-gen consoles look like toys. Doesn't matter. Not even PC games will take full advantage of that kind of hardware. So if you own thousand-dollar PCs, good for you. Running a game at 1080p/60FPS on high is really all that is needed. Anything above that is useless and not worth the money.
