Well. Actually it doesn't... DDR2 Ram can have more bandwidth than GDDR6. It really depends how wide you wish to take things.
There comes a point though where it's just cheaper to opt for GDDR6 over GDDR5 due to complexity.

My Xbox One X might boot up fairly quickly on spinning rust... (Time is all relative.) However, it takes -forever- to load my games library off multiple 4 Terabyte external drives before I can start using anything.
My PC however... Boots up in mere seconds and is usable from the get-go.
| Nate4Drake said: Off topic, about the amount of RAM, which seems to be an hot topic, I feel that Sony are not gonna be so stingy, as going from gen to gen, the increase of RAM was always very generous. From PS3 to PS4 the increase was 16X : can we expect a 2X only from PS4 to PS5 ? I myself said 16GB for a base model, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sony opt for more RAM in the end.

Sony doesn't have a choice. Unlike prior generations... Ram capacity increased whilst the price came down/stayed the same... So they COULD increase DRAM counts by 16x.
Tech isn't evolving as fast as it used to... And that will have an effect on things like consoles.
