The ESRAM can only be a bottleneck if it is used, but it's part of the overall hardware therefore a subset of the bottleneck argument which would be the DDR3 @ 68GB/s. Sure it's something that can be worked around with time, and same goes for ESRAM, but the conclusion here is that the X1 RAM lacks compared to PS4 RAM, which I can't see how it isn't obvious. |
Actually this does not read right. Instead of saying the "ESRAM can only be a bottlenick if used" instead, the ESRAM is bottleneck from reaching peack performance. In other words, in order to get the 204gbs, the developer would need to use the ESRAM constantly. Also, this author might be suggesting the size of the ESRAM is the bottleneck which is indead the case. The key is that developers will need to think different about their game design solution so that they are always preloading the assets they need Into the Esram to maintain optimal performance.
