I don't think you understand what I said.
Your IQ as a number is completely irrelevant once you reach adult hood. The number assigned means fuck all. It is only relevant as a child, because a 10 year old with the thought process of a 20 year old is impressive. A 40 year old thinking like a 50 year old is not.
It would be an objective fact that iq is high or low based on testing. But that is not a measure of your intelligence beyond childhood.
In this case, I took the comment to be the same. The numbers we have for the RAM are low, but that doesn't mean the console is under powered as a whole.
Them again, he may have just been calling you stupid, but that was not how it appeared to me, or likely anyone else that understands how iq tests work.
360 DX9 with some quirks
PS3 DX9 variant.
The Xbox 360 uses a modified DirectX 9 API while the PS3 has its own graphics API. DirectX 10 is not compatible with the 360.
The WiiU is rumoured to have DirectX 10.1 compatible GPU, putting it far ahead of the PS360 in that regard.
The EDRAM is exciting (froma developing satndpoint). I wonder how many devs will have native 720p deferred engines with this thing. It should be quite interesting.
But as I said, RAM bandwidth is not irrelevant, thus your comparison falls apart.
Seeing MadeInBeats skirt around a full-blown meltdown in these kind of threads will never cease to entertain.
There absolutely is, and more of it (and apparently more flexible) than on 360.
MadeInBeats about to go nuclear in here. Back away from the ledge.
It was not my comparison...
I was mearly pointing out what it appeared the post meant. You seemed to take it as question of your intelligence, I was pointing out it was likely not at all.
If this is a taste of E3 2013... It's gonna be insane...
Do we know where the edram is on WiiU? Is it just on the GPU or elsewhere?
We don't have hard numbers on bandwidth, but 200GB/s or so is expected.
Is MadeInBeats the first post launch Nintendo fan meltdown?
What's the bandwidth on the 360 eDRAM?
What's the bandwidth on the 360 eDRAM?
Man, no way to defend this if true.
Could this be the reason why the OS is dog slow?
The eDRAM on the XBox360 is on a separate die with (afaik) the ROPs and some of the shader units. The link between this die and the main GPU die operates at 32GB/s, and the internal bandwidth on the eDRAM die is 256GB/s.
That's just off the top of my head. More knowledgable folks will probably correct me.

Hmmm. I wonder if there are other pools?

So the talking point has shifted from "you can't compare console RAM to PC RAM, and are stupid for even trying to do so" to "sure, it's PC RAM, but that's also what the other consoles will use". Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember you being distinctly in favor of the first option way back when. And ridiculing people who even remotely attempted any comparison to PC memories.
There's no way to 'defend' it, IF it's true, and IF it gimps the system.
OS is probably slow because it isn't finished yet; you might have got the impression Nintendo have been stretched to the limits meeting the launch day. I know I have. Expect several OS updates over the next few weeks I say!
Other pools? Like...other pools of eDRAM on the 360?
Other pools of edram for WiiU.
Man, no way to defend this if true.

I don't believe it. No way Nintendo would use slower RAM than last gen consoles. Way too much misinformation flying around here.

Can someone please explain these RAM specs in layman's terms?
What is the difference (if any) between DDR3, SDDR3 and gDDR3?
Unless they're all synonims (I really don't know), first post says RAM is DDR3, Samsung catalog lists it under gDDR3 but then its product code leads to SDDR3 type.
They're basically all the same thing. The main difference is how they're packaged.
Thanks.They're basically all the same thing. The main difference is how they're packaged.
So the rumors for the other next gen consoles are that they have DDR3 ram exclusively? No separate GDDR5 memory pool or anything similiar?
I thought gddr3 had more in common with DDR2 than with ddr3?
Well, there's GDDR3, which is a derivative of DDR2, and then there's gDDR3, which is just regular DDR3, but packaged for GPUs and consoles. Confusing, I know.
This is gDDR3 not GDDR3, notice the difference, the first is what's used in the Wii U, the other is what's used in 360, PS3 and the Wii.I thought gddr3 had more in common with DDR2 than with ddr3?

Which is the one the wii and 360 used?
It does. gDDR3 is DDR3, GDDR3 however isn't.But I thought the wii u used DDR3?
