Have people gone loopy lately? 4GB of DDR 5 is stretching the tech already, how does 8 GB of DDR5 on a motherboard (even stacking) make sense? If it were possible in a $400 retail machine, I mean forget about PS4, AMD should develop a Jaguar laptop with 8 GB of DDR5 for $500-$600 in 2014 and kill Intel. Why don't we see more mid-range cards have more than 2 GB DDR5? Either the total cost is not what people wish for or Sony will take a massive bath on 8 GB DDR5. And if they somehow get it at a reasonable cost, you will see copycat machines quickly come to market. That is the thing people don't seem to understand with the current PS4 model. It is commodity parts, not exotic parts. Anyone can build it within the first 2 years of the machine coming out. With the PS3, no one could really copy them because they used Cell and XDR but PS4 is all standard parts so if it is really as cheap as people say, it will be surpassed within 1-2 years no matter what. I would gladly welcome 8 GB DDR5, but it's not going to happen in 2013.
