Ps5 131gb Ram

Prinz said it earlier and is correct. RAM is not a bottleneck anymore for games with 8GB. The problem now is speed of the RAM.

This gen will probably last shorter than last gen too, so 32-64GB is what I would guess. But with RAM prices probably be so cheap in the future, it might not hurt doubling down. No HDD needed, just RAM!

That's a good point; it's NOT the AMOUNT of RAM, but the SPEED of it will be the bottleneck. PS4 is fine this generation but XB1 is in big trouble. The generation will have to increase the RAM speed (bandwidth) by 4-8 times, a similar improvement as the GPU. Also the CPU needs to quadruple its speed at least.

4x CPU speed + 4-8x GPU speed + 2-4x more RAM + 4x faster RAM

That's the future generation console (in 6 years)

 

- The CPU technology is already here. An i5 would cut it. It just needs to be more energy efficient and integrated in an APU package.

- The GPu technology will be here in a couple of years, but again it needs to be "mobile" and "integrated" in the APU.

- The RAM amount and speed are the slowest improving parts and they will be "cutting edge" with the consoles.

It really is ridiculous how far ahead CPU's are after the introduction of multicore chipsets, my damn near ancient quad-core is still kicking ass in all the games I've tried and has never been above 75%. GPU power and faster memory clocks and bandwidth will be the way to avoid bottlenecks in the next 3-5 years. I feel that Nvidia are really onto something with their Maxwell architecture; amazingly low consumption and thus heat generation and terrific performance per transistor and relative to the bit-rates, I'm actually buying a GTX 980 (Zotac or Gigabyte, have to see which fits my cabinet best) very soon since they're even introducing high-tier cards on the market at a decent price, which used to be AMD's territory alone.

These are good times to be a PC gamer!
