| Raven722 said: So apparently Machiavellian thinks that the esram of the Xbox One having its maximum theoretical bandwidth simply added to the maximum bandwidth of its DDR3 is a new development that was never discussed on these forums or NeoGAF's. He claims he's just so on top of all the discussions and that whatever Fallen recently posted is new and apparently worth hashing out. Is it me or do those guys suffer from selective and collective amnesia? That topic has been discussed a number of times and not just recently. That topic was from months back. Around the time of E3 or a little later if I'm not mistaken and thanks in no small part to Digital Foundry's shoddy journalism. How many times will they keep bringing up the same debunked and rehashed crap before they finally just accept the facts as they are? I mean at this point it's pretty much worthy of a psychological case study. |
Yeah it has definitely been talked about a lot over the last 3 months. It is a tricky topic though because for one they can be added, but only in certain scenarios like the GPU being able to read/write from them at the same time. And the xbox does that, but that 200 GB/s or whatever it is for the eSRAM is only for 32MB and that is really small so while that 200GB/s is great, it's still limited to 32MB. And there have been many tech people/website that said the only amount they will get to in real world scenarios is about 140-150GB/s. And developers have to jump through hoops in order to utilize the eSRAM as efficiently as it will allow. Not as bad as the CELL fiasco, but still not as easy as full unified GDDR5. And since PS4's GDDR5 is unified it will be really easy to reach it's theoretical peak of 176GB/s. I'll also say that the 15 microprocessors is BS too. We don't know what really any of them do, but yet we have people claiming they will be able to take away CPU/GPU resources and other BS. And one more thing, everyone is saying to wait for the games to come out, but we all know launch titles are not a good indicator of which is more powerful because they are rushed and are made on not final hardware. They only just got final devkits like 2 months ago maybe a bit more. Wait for 2nd year and 3rd year games before claiming anything.
