You are just not getting it. Without the memory the GPU is useless, and visa versa.

I realise that, but fast memory does not offset a weaker gpu period. It just causes a bad bottleneck, and the x1 has worse memory setup as well, only making it worse.  You could put the worlds fastest nasa ram in x1,m the gpu would still cause it to lag behind, a system is only as fast as its slowest part... Nothing any magic can do to make the x1 gpu process better then the ps4's, or even near as close. Ps4 has faster unified ram, so it's a moot point anyway.

the full power of the GPU will not be used.

 

This and most of your post is blatantly false....The ps4 has better ram, it does not need to go through a 32 MB bottlneck of esram (Thats what it is a botleneck many devs have stated).  The full power of thre gpu is held back by CPU, not ram........the full power is still used no matter how slow or fast the instructions get to the gpu period. You dont know what you are talking about. The unified pool gets rid of the middle man, making it faster and more easily accessible to the GPU, period.

 

No ram can jhelp or slow down a gopu, and the x1 does not have better ram, making your entire post even more moot. 32 MB esram is a bottleneck, not an advancement.

 

I repeat, try running a game on PC with blazing ram and a weak gpu what happens? There are benchmarks out there shoping how wrong you really are. Now, take slow ram and out in a  monster gpu i can max any game out with ease. GPU is the single most important aspect of any gaming system.
