So if this is true, which one is better 3.5 of GDR5 or 5GB GDDR3 assuming this is what ends up being used for gaming?
3GB for the OS sounds insane. It must be have some integrated Twitch streaming or some shit.

3GB is the amount of RAM that Durango supposedly reserves for its OS.
3GB for the OS seems really high, there must me something else. PC W8 requires <1GB after boot.
No idea which apps would require that amount of data but we know nothing of the system yet, so who knows what they do with it (iftrue).
Very low RAM for OS. WTF Sony, you're gonna have another cross game chat issue next gen. Don't you learn?
But what about the GPU?
I'm running a 7970m.
If the PS4 has an underclocked version. Wouldn't that be kinda disappointing?

That custom chip is sounding a lot like a co-processor for floating point stuff, it seems. Fits with AMD's "Fusion" philosophy, and could potentially fill the role of what Cell's SPUs were used for. (Give up on backwards compatibility, though.)
Wasn't a problem with the 360 and it's 512 MB of total RAM ..
could it be that they need that much ram so you can have full access to the os even when you're gaming?
aegis shows how "informed" you are again if its 8 cores in ps4 !
One legitimate feature could be a "replay and save the last 15 minutes of gameplay" button for the youtube socialites.
Windows RT is ARM. Microsoft is probably going for a stronger persistent OS approach - more features running simultaneously.
how does a 7970m stack up to a 7850/7870?
3gb reserved for the os in durango seems unnecessarily excessive. I wonder what it will be used for.
is it too much to hope for that some of that will be used for recording gameplay and uploading clips to youtube?
512MB is more than enough. I don't think it will be an issue for cross game chat.Very low RAM for OS. WTF Sony, you're gonna have another cross game chat issue next gen. Don't you learn?
you're right. I hope game recording and in game video chat is among those features.

Honestly. 3gigs indicates a problem with the designers. They were UNDER that target as recently as a couple months ago.
So...ya. Not 100% believing that they suddenly lost a gig.
Strengths and weakness in different areas. However, the article mentions that the NextBox will also have an unspecified amount of EDRAM which can changes things.

Disappointing to who? I want to know who out there really thought Durango and Orbis were going to be anywhere near comparable to highend pc on paper.

I believe it lies somewhere in between them.
Enough for what?

Pretty disappointing all around. I thought they'd be actual powerhouses compared to what we can already see on other platforms now.
Who is the "you" in this sentence?
