| drkohler said: Of course he is wrong. Doubling the bus width would of course require double the ram chips. If you ever touched the ram chips in a running pc, you'd know there is quite some heat there. The mb design would have to be changed to a more expensive slot layout (or a problematic dual sided layout of the mem chips). The APU would get somewhat hotter and bigger since it now has 8 memory controller/drivers (proided you can actually route 8 controllers inside an APU). And it is doubtful a bandwidth increase would actually increase the overal performance. |
Well. That's your opinion.
Ram is generally not as hot as typical processors like the CPU and GPU, they would still be passively cooled.
Besides. It's a "What-if" scenario, not one that actually has or will happen.
