The GPU can read from both at once, so yes, they can and will be added.

You are right if you have the same data in eSRAM and DDR3 but you only have 32MB eSRAM... so the bandwidth can be added just for 32MB.


But you have too look at the whole system.

 

360 had HALF the main (22 GB/s verss 48 GB/s) bandwidth as PS3, yet did fine due to adding "only" 10MB of EDRAM.

 

There is very small  amounts of data in games that use a large portion of the bandwidth. Hence why small cache works.
