1. DDR3 is 64 bit, not 256, so DDR3 on XB1 would be like a 64 lane highway in your analogy.

ddr3 chips are 16 bits wide. The XBox One has 16 chips in parallel for a 256 bit bus

gddr5 chips are 32 bits wide but two chips can be paired as 16 bits wide each (clamshell mode). The PS4 has 16 chips in clamshell mode for a 256 bit bus.
