| TheLastStarFighter said: You're really confused and talking over your head here. The ESRAM really is very significant. Not enough to make the XBOne more powerful, but it nearly bridges the gap in bandwidth between the memory types in the two systems. The numbers you're quoting aren't the speed of ESRAM and GDDR5, respectively, but the bandwidth of the two gaming systems. Think about this: The 8 Gig of GDDR5 gives around 176 GB/sec while just 32 MB of ESRAM gives around 100 GB/sec. ESRAM is exponentially faster than GDDR5, and having this buffer makes the difference of the slower 68.3GB DDR3 system memory in the XBOne almost insignificant. The two systems use different approaches to the same problem, and even Mark Cerny admits the best approach is debatable. The PS4 is more powerful, but mostly due to the GPU. You clearly want the PS4 to be the better system, and I'm sure it is so you should be happy with that. But talking about tech stuff that you don't really understand weakens your argument. |
Show me any technical analysis anywhere that shows this to be the case. You can't, because your just making it up (or parroting MS marketing drivel).
The gap in performance will only get larger. As devs try to squeeze more out of the systems, there simply isn't as much to squeeze out of the XB1.
