@radikel Unified pool just means that everything in the system shares the same memory address space, rather than the CPU having its own set of memory and the GPU having its own set of memory. It makes things a lot more flexible for developers with how they want to use the memory.

Not sure how much more bandwidth it has - you'd have to know more than just the type of memory to answer that and I don't feel like looking it all up (assuming Sony has even released enough relevant details about clocks etc for the memory which I doubt)

@Double-Ego lol you can do whatever you want I just think it's funny that you have at various times in this discussion tricked yourself into thinking that you are "objective" and/or that you are only "stating facts"

@Double-Ego I'm pretty sure that you don't understand that the following statement is by definition a speculation:

"it is not that unlikely for the PS4 to be on par or CLOSE to the 680"

@Hillsy_ I thought fanboys, grandmas, and handhelds were why Nintendo was still around?

Sorry... had to do it...

@Double-Ego lulz you need to learn to quit while you're ahead

Which is it, you haven't made any claims or stated assumptions as facts, or all you have posted are facts?

You can't have it both ways. Stop contradicting yourself.

@Double-Ego "I haven't made any real speculations"

...

"All i have said is it is not that unlikely for the PS4 to be on par or CLOSE to the 680"

Does not compute.

@radikel 8GB GDDR5 is a magic wand that turns an otherwise extremely mediocre computer into a super computer and means you need to go give Sony your money for this console RIGHT NOW

In all seriousness, PS4 is just using a unified memory pool and they happened to choose GDDR5. It's a bit higher latency than DDR3 but it's got a lot more bandwidth.

@Double-Ego This is just getting more and more delicious... here's a direct quote from you below:

"so far all i have posted are facts"

@Double-Ego But your speculation is based on nothing. At the very BEST, your speculation is based on the history of this past console generation.

It's not based on anything we know about the PS4 right now.

@Double-Ego Not underestimating... just estimating based on what we know now and refusing to make estimations based on hypothetical future optimizations.
