Reading Dev Tweets and Programmer reactions from yesterdays announcement in reference to ram. It appears this is a recent developement. So I believe the games we saw were targeted to 4GB's of GDDR5.
8GB of GDDR5 RAM - PS4

- Start date

Supposedly it should be able to run Crysis 3 on max. But I haven't heard a dev say that so who the fukk knows.

More memory means larger textures and better image quality. 8GB is why you should be able to instantly start and stop the game at any point. I'd imagine a MAX of 6GB is for games, probably more like 4GB. The rest of is for the OS shyt.
I'm speculating though, so don't take shyt I said as fact.

You have zero understanding of what you're talking about, you simply google shyt and try to present an argument.
It doesn't matter what you meant, the PS4 isn't coming within 10,000 miles of Avatar quality.
OS can't be more then a 1gb, but we won't know for a while
He's on that rock. He has taken what all these hype machines say and ran with it. You know like when they start throwing numbers like "Oh that game only makes use about 50% of the hardware"I stopped reading here

I have no strings on me.
right. I'd say 2 gigs max since Console OS's tend to be stripped down. all the extra stuff(not games) will probably loaded as needed.
but like the rest im just guessing.

Exactly, he's talking about "PC nerds" when this shyt is essentially just a PC in a closed box. I actually plan on getting a PS4 too which is funny, but I doubt it will have the longevity that PS3 had because it will be so easy to code for.
And, why do these CG animators even bother with render farms, just get a PS4 for your next movie
Recording the last 15 minutes of gameplay should eat a chunk.
They were smart to go with 8gigs of DDR5, and from the sounds of it MS won't be able to match it since they already had 1 major system revision.
That could mean a huge gap between PS4 1st party games and 720 games, especially if the OS in the 720 is as bloated as the rumors say.

Thats a good point though, lets see the movie industry do what they are doing now with less before we talk about games.lets see them fit anywhere near this into console by 2025
The Data-Crunching Powerhouse Behind 'Avatar' » Data Center Knowledge
"32 machines with 40,000 processors"
"The industry standard of raised floors and forced-air cooling could not keep up with the constant heat coming off the machines."
"For the last month or more of production those 40,000 processors were handling 7 or 8 gigabytes per second, runnng 24 hrs a day. A final copy of Avatar equated to 17.28 gigabtyes per mintue of storage."
pause
at any rate, we're all gonna need MS to match it, or get as close as pssible...because the multi-platform games will be developed around the weakest system...
don't worry, Watch Dogs is coming out on the Wii U
one thing is we haven't heard a price yet for the Playstation. I thought it was funny lastnight when they were showing the Vita stuff, and everyone acted like the Wii U was just made obsolete, just totally ignoring the fact that experience will probably be more than twice the cost of the Wii U

Early leaks say 512mb and all the downloading uploading cache done by a custom chip.
