It doesn't work that way. I'm sure someone on here can explain the purpose of the DDR3, but it cannot be used as a part of the DDR5 main memory resources. My guess is it's used exclusively for audio purposes among other potential uses. At any rate, an extra 256MB of RAM is pretty insigificant compared to the reduced OS overhead of the PS4 relative to the XB1, which effectively gives developers access to more memory for their apps, game engines, and due to the unified memory structure, more memory for the GPU to utilize for larger texture buffers, etc. etc. |
how much ram does ps4's OS use compared to xbox?
also by having 256mb ddr3 for sound or something, does that mean more of the 8gb gddr5 can be used for things like graphics and physics, meaning even more ram resources freed up for other tasks?
