I'd guess the author included the 2GB DDR3 RAM in order to make it sound like it was backwards compatible with WIIU. |
No. He included it because he's an idiot.
Notice how it's on die. If it were to be backward compatible with the Wii U, it would still need the 32 MB of eDRAM. If the supposed L4 cache was bigger, then maybe that could replace the need of having eDRAM, but the L4 cache is super tiny. On die DDR is super inefficient because the bandwidth for DDR3 is still very very slow. The DDR4's timing could be programmable, which would be more than enough, so there's really absolutely NO reason to include DDR3 whatsoever.
DDR4 is also far too slow for the GPU that's listed in these fake specs.
Also, why have codenames for uncustomized memory? Like, they didn't even attempt to make these specs believable at the slightest.
