thats only for the Radeon 7670 at the very least there is anothe 1gb for the apu
also to note wich i havent seen on here is that AMD A8-3850 APU has its own gpu built in which i believe is the Radeon HD 6550 hence the word apu and not cpu so the ps4 will have 2 gpus
I never understood why consoles got away with so little RAM. My 10 year old PC has a 2.8 GHz processor (single core, big difference), but 2 GBs of RAM. My Laptop has 4GBs of DDR3 RAM, heck my cell phone has 512MB.
How does a console get away with so little? It's a cheap upgrade. Maybe it's because the RAM is dedicated, it's faster?

The Wii U controller will also be powered by the console though. So I'd imagine powering both an HDTV and a tablet will be very taxing on the Wii U. Any increase of power over current-gen will probably be negated. Again, this is just my hypothesis. Feel free to disagree. To the annoyoing stalker, shut it. |
The Wii U controller will have its own tiny CPU/GPU SOC. All the Wii U main system will do is transmit a signal.. the crunching will be in the tablet. It only needs to do a 480p output.... you're really giving it too much. I don't think a tablet will be a huge drain on the device.

Where?
and good hypothesis VGKing, I agree with you. I think the Wii U will be the equivalent of the Wii compared to GCN and XB. It will look better, but not by much, and it will depend on how the developer uses the system (e.g. XenoBlade looks amazing, but Fire Emblem looks old).

That all depends on how devs use it
As for the “shut it” there is no need for that kind of stuff in here. This is just a discussion so let’s keep it peaceful, ok? |
Oh, yes. Please tell that to your friends.

Really? I heard the opposite. I heard its just receives the NFC signals. It can't render games by itself.

lol must have read it in another thread 
anyway consoles get away with less ram due to the fact that they don’t run an OS in the background while they are running games also devs put in more work in their codes to get what they want out of the system.
I mean looking at the PS360 and you see how much they can do with so little ram compared to PC’s

Looks like I have someone else to add to my ignore list.
How about you stop obsessing about me? You and Zero. I know I'm beautiful but get over it! I'm taken.

I don't think they are going to do that, maybe they will put some RAM in it so you can store mini-games, books, or small stuff in there when you are out of the reach of the console (like the example of two person GO in the E3 video), but adding a CPU and a GPU will be too expensive
