Oh, thanks for your input. Glad to know I sound as a Fanboy to people without the basic technichal knowledge.
Once of the first things I said here, is that I'm not concerned about DDR3 being a bandwidth bottleneck to One GPU. In fact, I said the same for WiiU several months ago. People here is like OMG DDR3 TOO SLOW without understanding how memory works. Yes, DDR3 at 1600mhz may mildly hurt APU performance, and many people overcome that overclocking DDR3:
As we can see, some performance is gained from massive memory overclocking. So it's safe to assume that desktop APUs are, to some extent, bandwidth starved.
But now move to the quid:
Those AMD desktop parts have a
128 bits shared BUS, coming from usual DDR3 dual channel setup from PC.
Xbox One have a
256 bits bus, not counting aggregated busses.
Those APUs have around 29.8GB/s with DDR3@1866mhz.
Xbox One DDR3@2133 256 bit provides 68Gb/s.
Answer me, please, I beg you,
how can be more than double bandwidth from regular desktop APUs a problem for One's GPU? Why GAF can't understand that one thing is memory chips and other thing is memory bus or interfaces? Why everyone compare DDR3 performance without taking into account BUS width and memory setup? Why am I trying to talk about buses and memory subsystems and in return I have a retarded guy nagging about chips latencies and quoting me to reply to another poster (Sage)?
Geez!
