I wish I could understand this stuff....it's so interesting
Basically, what he's saying about the RAM is that they were thinking about using eDRAM (super fast, super expensive, only available in small sizes) in addition to the GDDR5 main memory (still way faster than usual RAM but also more expensive) but they didn't want to since then they would make developers have to figure out what to put in the fast RAM and what to leave in the slower RAM. This costs time and brain power from the programmers and he probably thinks it's not worth it for them to do all this for a small performance increase.
