PS4 does not use DDR5 RAM

I'm not trying to upset anyone I would just like to inform you properly. If you do your research in which I did you would find that DDR4 may be soon to come out but only for high end computers which would be mainly servers. Now the video memory is DDR5 which is what they have in the GTX 690 video card. If you disagree then please prove it to me because I would like to know. Because if they do use DDR5 RAM then yes PS4 would be super fast but definitely not the case. I'm assuming XBOX ONE is going to be using an AMD CPU? Now since we know that they are going to be using DDR3 do we know how many MHz it is going to be? And do we know what size RAM chips because that all plays into the calculation of speed. Is it going to be 8GB, 2 4GB, or 4 2GB? This all has to do with speed so I'm curious myself. I did see some screenshots of Forza 5 and must say very impressive. RimacBugatti

Yes, it makes use of a pool of 8gb GDDR5 RAM. How much this actually helps the consoles is yet to be seen, it will certainly increase the price.

I dont care for specs i just want play games.

So you are right, it doesnt use DDR, it uses GDDR which is faster than DDR and is cheaper to produce.

I dont know where you did your "research" but you did it in all the wrong places because you have no idea what your talking about.

i dont know but i listened to a pannel on majornelson.com and the hardware and software guys said the chose DDR3 on purpose because of its speen. They also said right after that they xbox would of been perfectly fine with 4GB of ram. The only reason they decided to double it is because they wanted to have the dual OS running as smooth as possible and then some.
