From Eurogamer Spain's sub director twitter:
>PS4 Memory drama. More info soon
>The article will be publish tomorrow, it's better like this, will be more info.
>A very interesting tech article, 24 hours delay because Sony want to make statements.

Some sort of drama is underway with the Playstation 4, the article would have been out today but it's delayed until tommorow because Sony is "preparing statements".
RAM Downgrade incoming?
GDDR5 has reported to be a problem with some devs, it fails at doing small tasks & has insanely high latencyÂ
But so did N64 & somewhat PS2, devs worked around it, I seriously doubt this is a heat issue, so im not sure what it is.
Perhaps they are doing DDR3 for main system ram & GDDR5 for the VRAM, which would be much better, devs would love Sony long time for that.
PS4's memory bus can only do around 2gb's of VRAM efficiently, anymore & performance starts to go down the drain, 3gb's of VRAM at best can be used, so having the whole system use 8gb's of GDDR5 ram when the APU can't really use more than 3gb's as VRAM, was kind of stupid.
