superchunk on 14 May 2013

Odd considering all rumors from very early last year all said it was DDR3.

Anyway some part of his claim is in fact true... Sony matched the 8GB spec from Microsoft but they will use GDDR5 and Microsoft DDR3.

Not only people are "choosing" which rumor is true based on their own preferences, now they start "choosing" which part of each rumors is true the same way
I'm telling you, the world is running strait into a wall, our kids are doomed!

yo dawg...i heard u liked rumors, so i put a rumor to debunk the first rumor

This is actually kinda sad.

I'll tell you why this "rumor" is false.....ESRAM. Leaks point to the console having ESRAM to make up for the low bandwidth of DDR3. You can't just go from DDR3 to GDDR5 without completely redesigning the console.

This is not really a proof. This can be wrong as well as DDR3. Either both things are right or both things are wrong.

It comes from a reputable source, the same one who game us PS4 specs.

Still saying GDDR5 is out because of ESRAM is wrong. Either both DDR3 *and* ESRAM is wrong or both are true.

Why would you use ESRAM if you have 8GB of GDDR5? It's completely unnecessary.

The presence of ESRAM would in a way confirm that the console is using DDR3. The whole point of ESRAM is to increase bandwidth, something that would be completely unnecessary combined with GDDR5. Besides, we've all seen what's happening with Xbox 360, it is very app-focused and DDR3 is best suited for that.
