I have a honest question about the memory bandwidth that I hope someone can answer.

When will the Xbox One use both memories at the same time for the same thing? Let me explain

The way I see it, the console will read the BluRay Disc/HDD, get some data and "store" it to the 8GB of DDR3 RAM and/or the ESRAM. We have the GPU/CPU that can "talk" with the ESRAM at 204 gb/s and can "talk" with the DDR3 RAM at 68gb/s.

My question is in which cases the data needed to perform "X" calculation will be stored on both RAMs and be read at the same time? Won't the CPU/GPU work with each one of the RAM pools individually for each calculation most of the time and therefore work at either 68 or 204 gb/s?

As I said, it's a honest question so please don't try to spin it.



Please excuse my bad English.
