PS1 had 2mb of ram 

PS2 had 32mb of ram, a power increase of x16

PS3 had 256mb of ram + 256mb of vram (512mb) again an increase of x16 

PS4 8gb of ram plus 256mb for background tasks, again an increase of x16 the power

Ps5 131gb????

I can see next gen being very little difference between Ps5 and pc

x16 does make sense, though.

+ PlayStation releases every 6-8 years ? which would be 2^3 or 2^4 ≈ 16

Holy crap, proof

Can anyone on here find a thread with predicted ps4 ram before itches announced, because I bet a lot doubted 8gb

128GB of RAM? What would all that be used for? XD
I can see that TBH, tech's advancing rapidly.

A few years ago 8gb seemed nearly impossible, so I guess 128gb is not out of the question.

wat

I suppose we can expect that if preferences and requirements regarding PC RAM spike friggin' enormously within the next 5 years. :P

the moment you turn the consoles on your whole city would explode.

The curve with ram slowed down on PC already and I think 32 gb ram or 64 will be definitely sufficient. The difference between PC and PS5 will be computing power, not ram. That said, ram doesn't provide any power. It helps to utilize power better.

too much. O_o

Ka-pi96 said: I suppose looking at what's come before that is possible. But what kind of games would even require that much?

Gta UK lol every road building etc, imagine how mad that would be

depends how long this gen will last.
still doubt it. ram size is no bottle neck anymore

32 maybe 64 will be the next gen
