Wow, funny how time flies. You're talking about the top performance of a card, not an embedded IC. And DDR3 DRAM in the Xbox One is 68Gb/s not GB/s. You're mixing up your bits and bytes. 100MB/s is pretty close to 1Gb/s. That said, the performance available through NAND memory is capable of more than that. NAND-based SSDs are capable of over 200MB/s, or roughly 2Gb/s. Embeded NAND memory would be capable of potentially faster speeds. Is it the same performance as DDR3 memory? No. It doesn't need to be. It needs to be faster than the HDD, and it is. With up to 100 million cycles on modern NAND memory, I doubt NAND degredation would be an issue considering NAND memory with 100K cycles was considered to have a 10 year lifespan. If I'm not mistaken, 100M is 1000x greater than 100K, which would make that a 10,000 year lifespan. I'm not worried. Son, you really should know better than to bring a knife to a gun fight. You're bound to get hurt. |
No, I'm pretty sure he means 68GB/s. RAM speed is measured in bytes/s, so 100-200MB/s is pretty slow by comparison.
As for the life cycle, if a developer uses NAND in the same way they use RAM then it'll speed through those cycles a lot faster than a normal NAND drive.
