I believe that for the difference to be not really big the coding will need to be really clever (and actualy I really believe that 30 to 50% is possible, but won't be really noticeable if developers use the right areas to compromise). But what is most incredible and would be interesting to learn is how they will manage to wright/read simultaneously, It may contribute to general computation more than some of the things Sony is coming with... but and people talking about audio chip, don't expect Sony to have a poor solution (even tough they haven't detailed it) because they are in that bussiness as well and PS3 is good in this part (I could say that the main reason for MS bigger audio chip is kinect voice recognition, and in game usage both will be similar and PS4 mic will be somewhat worst). |
While their architecture is interresting, I really doubt a lot of developpers (other than first party) are going to use that :) So for me, the DDR5 would have been a better choice (overall).
