Developers thought the ps4 would only have 4GB of ram

more fanboy mumbojumbo
lol u asked for an explanation , im no fanboy , im just telling actual facts
what im sayong has nothing to do with system siding... its just actual truth
now join us???
Doesn't quite work like that bruh...sorry.
"System memory (DDR3) benefits from low latency (tight timings) at the expense of bandwidth, GDDR5's case is the opposite. Timings for GDDR5 would seems unbelieveably slow in relation to DDR3, but the speed of VRAM is blazing fast in comparison with desktop RAM- this has resulted from the relative workloads that a CPU and GPU undertake. Latency isn't much of an issue with GPU's since their parallel nature allows them to move to other calculation when latency cycles cause a stall in the current workload/thread. The performance of a graphics card for instance is greatly affected (as a percentage) by altering the internal bandwidth, yet altering the external bandwidth (the PCI-Express bus, say lowering from x16 to x8 or x4 lanes) has a minimal effect. This is because there is a great deal of I/O (textures for examples) that get swapped in and out of VRAM continuously- the nature of a GPU is many parallel computations, whereas a CPU computes in a basically linear way."
There's a reason why cats are bustin nuts over the 8GB announcement. The gains in bandwidth significantly overshadow the slight losses in latency. With higher RES games, the GDDR5 is a HUGE asset.
You think cats are doing jumpin jacks over this for nothing?
It's not close, no matter how hard yall trying to force and spin it.
GDDR5 > GDDR3
stop the nonsense Ice. This is open and shut fam.
Is MS can somehow change out the memory (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) they are at a disadvantage man. Yall nikkaz acting hard headed.

that doesn't answer my question. I've read the technical"what is the difference between gddr5/3" explanations. But I want to know how these differences will affect video game performance on home consoles.
The main thing I believe it is for is seamless multi-tasking. Game wise, probably further draw distance and more things on screen without slowdown

Sony gives you good news and you act bitter
Microsoft gives you bad news and you rejoice
I have trouble understanding your motivations in this discussion. Why do you want the best console in the history of gaming, to fail. 149 devs locked and loaded on baord to entertain you.
When Sony drops that ps4 bright and early before Microsoft, the lead microsoft needed to compete this gen, will be lost and it will be a wrap. Lets be friends on SOnys platform friend. Why must you be dragged into the future of gaming. I dont know either.

Friends think they can just say any old thing. DDR5 IS BETTER!!! The end.Maybe microsoft will announce 16gigs of ddr3
You are an asset in this fight.

Ice is good peoples friend, but this isn't a fight he can win. 4GB of DDR5 was already good, 8 is a megaton. Hopefully he will rethink his demonic stance on supporting such trash as the Durango Snitchbox.
I just want to make sure I get the most popular console and sit at the cool table with Zack Morris. I'm like 12

O, makes sense. Well, Playstation is the most popular console, in the world. IF you entrust the future of gaming to America instead of the planet, we're going to suffer. Buy ps4

I cant believe i just read those thoughts. 
RIP Snitchbox
Friend, if I get a PS4, can I add you on my friends list, friend?
