Probably because those "cell phones" cost $600 unsubsidized.

YEAA BOImysteriousmage09 said:Awesome news. This bodes well for PS4 tech.
I can play mkv files on my Samsung Captivate which is a Galaxy S phone. I use handbrake to transcode my vids. I have machete on there right now as an mkv file. Everything else is in mp4 but I just wanted t osee if it works and it does. Not sure what's up with yours.

そう、メインメモリが512MBで、VRAMが128MBです。
Lol.Special J said:probably alot of developer pressure. more ram typically wont make the games look better especially on that resolution but greatly improve development speeds since they can be more sloppy with asset use.
Alextended said:Well, we don't know that yet, what kind of multitasking capabilities they have in mind for the OS and such. But it's plenty either way.

Not sure if serious since we've seen a bunch of VITA games other than Resistance. Uncharted alone has magnificent textures.Mr_Brit said:This just makes it more curious why Resistance had such awful textures, after seeing that footage I thought it had definitely got downgraded to 256mb.
Mr_Brit said:Lol.
who knows how early that footage wasGarjon said:Fair enough, I take my comment in the conference thread back. It just seems that certain developers (nihilistic) can't seem to be able to put it on the road. Interest in purchase rising. Still not a launch sale though (it'll take a monumentally good lineup for this)
btrboyev said:yes, unless you count the iphone and ipad.
360 also has 512MB of RAM.
Cell phones do not use the same type of RAM as gaming consoles, nor does it utilize much of said RAM for gaming purposes. Unnecessary.Weenerz said:Why not throw 1gb in it? Cell phones are coming with that, and I'm sure the extra room would help in the long run.
Pretty sure Vita uses LPDDR2 like any other phone.Instro said:Cell phones do not use the same type of RAM as gaming consoles, nor does it utilize much of said RAM for gaming purposes. Unnecessary.
Anyway, this is cool news. Although I still really don't think that the difference between the 512mb and 256mb would have had a significant impact gaming wise, and presumably this amount ram will be used for better OS/browser and other non-gaming applications.

Argyle said:Doesn't the Vita has more RAM (640MB total) than any iPhone or iPad? (512MB)
Even the 360 doesn't have as much RAM (counting the 10mb framebuffer EDRAM, that is 522mb total...even though really you'll need to resolve pretty much anything in there to main ram to use it)
Why show it if it was old footage? That said, why show it at all?-Pyromaniac- said:who knows how early that footage was
Yeah it read/write much faster but still 10MB.Jin34 said:To be fair those 10MB of edRAM on the gpu means a hell of a lot more than 10MB of the other ram.
Well then I stand corrected if that's the case, not something you usually see in gaming hardware from what I know. May also explain why they went with 512mb if its a slower/lower grade of RAM.Mr_Brit said:Pretty sure Vita uses LPDDR2 like any other phone.
to get people excited about a new game. There are some people that do like Resistance a lot and will just be excited that it's coming, then there are the more savvy people who should realize that it's probably old ass footage.Garjon said:Why show it if it was old footage? That said, why show it at all?
No idea. LPDDR2 is relatively cheap as well and is in mass production and used by tons of consumer devices. They seemed to have cash to spare for useless gimmicks like cameras and GPS so it's strange they didn't put extra VRAM in there.Instro said:Well then I stand corrected if that's the case, not something you usually see in gaming hardware from what I know.

...................but wait
Why isn't it just unified? Or is there some detail I am missing?
GPS and 3G are on the same chip, it's all or nothing. Same as the iPad, and anything else that has a 3G and Wifi only model.The Faceless Master said:GPS only in 3G model is a joke nowadays.
only VGA cameras? really? REALLY?
But not more than 128MB of the other ram. lol.Jin34 said:To be fair those 10MB of edRAM on the gpu means a hell of a lot more than 10MB of the other ram.

Does she bite her lip in every gif?
This pretty good news, it makes me want an iPad less. I know the resolution of the screen isn't amazing for web browsing but it will suffice for watching a few youtube videos and quickly checking emails around the house.
gofreak said:The VRAM may be a different type of memory optimised more for the GPU.
Plus in either case it gives each set of processors lower latency access to its own memory, more bandwidth, less contention etc. There are advantages to non-unified setups.
