It's hilarious over there now mate



Did they actually improve it or is it just a theoretical figure?

Does it even matter? It's going to get downplayed here either way.

Guess they did go for higher bandwidth in the end, despite dis saying they didn't need it.


Actually no, it proves me right. It shows that X1 didn't need touse GDDR5 RAM. Perfectly capable with DDR3 + esRAM

If true, it kinda worries me that they would do this change this late in develpoment. I don't want them to try and rush things.

Even the PS4 bandwidth is a "theoretical" max. They all deal in theoretical maxes. But regardless, yes, it's an actual improvement over the previous theoretical max.

I thought your point of that thread was that their setup was perfectly in sync with their output, and they didn't need the high speed of gddr5. If I'm wrong about that, my bad. That's how I interpreted it, although I do see that a large part of it was about gddr5, I thought it was more about the speed
