Lol! Lol! I wonder why PC GPU's use GDDR5 Ram??? Maybe MS should send Nvidia and AMD an email telling them to use Esram instead. Lmfao! MS shill talks up his own product while dismissing the competition without a shred of evidence to back it up with!

But eDRAM is best when the programmer know it is there and can fully utilize it. Use of eDRAM in PCs difficult. Even when a developer want to use it they must make code for PCs with or without eDRAM. But eDRAM is perfect for consoles with their standardized hardware.

Modern graphics card use eDRAM to: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2265428/intel-haswell-chips-will-have-onpackage-dram-for-cpu-and-gpu

Even a Sony Lead system architect of the PS4 admits that eDRAM gives a performance boost: http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20130401/274313/?P=2

It isn't perfect for consoles as theirs only 32MB of it. It then becomes a puzzle to solve and a bottleneck. GDDR5 Ram is the better overall solution!


So your proof? oh it's all opinion at this point.

There are two links there. I suggest you read them. Read what Cerny is saying and you'll have your answer!

Come on the proof is that AMD and Nvidia exclusivley run GDDR5 setups, a software company has not just discovered that these 2 hardware giants have been doing it wrong the last 10 years. They said in the EG interview, they chose DDR3 because they needed to balance the needs of 3 operating systems there choice was nothing to do with raw game performance, it was about sticking with what they know as there not really a hardware company. Im sure they guys there are very intellignet its not anyone that can architect a computer, but they should of got more outside help from AMD. 

Choosing DDR3 made it pointless having more than 16 ROPS which intern made it pointless having more than 12 CU's, without GDDR5 they chose the best graphics chip they could.
