There was already a thread where AMD dumped Z-RAM. It was nowhere near reliable enough for a serious application.
It instead opted for the new sexy, T-RAM, which is much like Z-RAM in that once AMD mentions it licenses the tech it results in years of silence.
The next gen is here.
They call it as playstation move and kinect.
Well I guess that scuppers that idea.
New idea: How about 8GB of RAM in consoles because of the increased density of ZRAM-DRAM!
I doubt this'll happen... just look at the RAM usage of current PC games... NONE come even close to using 2GB of RAM, even at highest settings. Crysis can easily go beyond 1.5GB, but not by much.
Well, we have to keep in mind that many games (that I played, that is) are console ports, thus they won't use as much RAM anyways.
I can't see the next consoles getting more than 4GB overall.
Consoles ALWAYS get MUCH too small memory space... I mean 32MB for the PS2, when PCs already had about 256MB? Ok, it's faster RAM coupled with eDRAM, but... it's still very small. Looking at most PS2 games, you can see how they did it, since nearly all PS2 games had the ugliest textures, ever.
