ATI M28+1T-SRAM. A good Graphics Chip for Revolution?

Yes. It is a laptop chipset. It's designed to stay cool in the confines of a laptop even under full load.
3. buffer - (computer science) a part of RAM used for temporary storage of data that is waiting to be sent to a device; used to compensate for differences in the rate of flow of data between components of a computer system
buffer storage, buffer store
memory cache, cache - (computer science) RAM memory that is set aside as a specialized buffer storage that is continually updated; used to optimize data transfers between system elements with different characteristics
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/buffer
Cache and buffer are the same thing.
It holds textures. It holds the same textures as in "standard video memeory." There isn't anything else in the "standard video memory" that you would want to put there.

Stop speaking as if your misinformed opinion is a fact. Your, repeated ad-nauseam, argument has been thoroughly debunked by PC-Engine. You should stop embarrassing yourself.

It also had a smaller fan, heatsink, ran quieter, etc.
remember Fast14 technology?
ATI Licenses Intrinsity Tech For Faster Chips
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,1518144,00.asp
Bob Feldstein, vice president of engineering at ATI, Thornhill, Ontario:
"We selected Intrinsity after determining that Fast14 Technology can deliver up to four times the performance per silicon dollar when compared with standard design approaches."
They apparently didn't use it for xbox 360, maybe for the revolution...

There is one point Powderkeg has been raising i would like to have your thoughts : the 1 T-Sram low latency has been praised by some devopers on GC (those of RE4 for example).
If this memory (including the massive improvments made as Li Mu Bai stated) is so efficient, why neither Sony nor Microsoft did use it for next generation ? Where are the trade offs with huge bandwith ?

Revolution's GPU is called Hollywood, and I highly doubt it is ATI's M28 GPU with 1T-SRAM.
Hollywood does use 1T-SRAM but it's architecture is probably very different from M28. as far as I know, it's only been confirmed that Revolution's GPU will use 1T-SRAM, not the main system memory, which could be GDDR3 or something else. however, I do think there's a good chance of 1T-SRAM being used as Revolution's system memory, because of backwards compatibility issues. I am not sure how GDDR3 would play out in Revolution, with it having to run Gamecube games--I am thinking in terms of latency. whatever Revolution as a whole has, it will cost less to manufacture than either PS3 or X360. I think Revolution will offer comparable in-game visuals to the other two consoles at 480p, even though Revolution is claimed to be not as powerful technically. CPU-wise, I expect Revolution to be the weakest, but I think GPU wise, Revolution is going to be close to Xenos and RSX, especially since, like Xenos, Hollywood will have embedded memory.

Teasy forgive me if my post sounded arrogant and/or affended you.
Of course latency ALSO is important but its a tradeoff.

Maybe a "smaller" Xenos type of GPU?

maybe.
but more likely, a very beefed up Flipper GPU with Shader 3.0

Yeah and that would still qualify as a Flipper, right
