It goes to system ram, takes up about 1GB. The DDR3 for the arm background processor is too small, and it would take up too much hdd bandwidth, and wear it out. I do think that GDDR5 is wasted used as that and it would have been great to have 4GB DDR3 for system stuff, then the full 8GB GDDR5 and 176GB/s for games. But costs more :( |
Do you have any evidence for this? I would be surprised by this as writing this to the main ram would definitely make games suffer, i.e. write load to the main ram would stop other processes (games) from having all resources available at all time (not by much, but still).
