Yes, it is actually. Currently 32GB GDDR6 is not possible without a very expensive 512bit bus. Of course if you want 16GB or 24GB, it won't be a problem, but even 24GB isn't enough IMO. The best would be 32GB games + 4 or 8GB OS: 36GB or 40GB in total. |
Anyone that thinks Sony's PS5 RAM will exceed 16GB is nuts, it may even be 12GB. But it certainly won't exceed 16GB. 8 for games, and 8 for the OS is likely. The technology that will be in question, and what is likely being discussed at Sony's HQ right now - is the HDD space. We've all seen first hand that the One X has a clear hard drive space problem, and Sony probably doesn't want the same conundrum for the PS5. They'll either introduce a Cloud Storage service for a players' game library, or they'll mass produce officially licensed external HD's in various sizes (2, 4, 6, 8 TB) with the ability to use a pre-existing external HD that you own at launch. My guess? They'll probably introduce a cloud storage service, while slightly increasing PS Plus membership fees because of such.
