It was just mentioned that the system uses GDDR5!

He did!!!

 

[Clockwork]

GDDR5 confirmed!

I never would have guessed they'd pack in 8GB!!!!

 

[Elginer]

DDR5 confirmed. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

 

[AngryMoth]

HOLY SHIT!!! And gaf said it wasn't possible!

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

8GB!!!!!!!!! GDDR5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[shinobi602]

HOLY MOTHER OF SHIT....

Beast of a console confirmed.

 

[Withnail]

Holy fucking shit.

8GB of GDDR5 is insane.

 

[ffdgh]

Woah.......

 

[shinra-bansho]

Cerny right now just confirmed gddr5

FUCKING CRAZY

Holy crap. Something's gotta give - cost will be higher than I thought.

But nice to see at least one maker is going all out.

 

[Pandemic]

My mind has just been blown..

 

[Y2Kev]

This is either gdr3 or 599

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Goodbye WiiU. I barely knee thee.

 

[bgassassin]

I have no problem admitting I was wrong. I never expected anyone to pursue 8GB of GDDR5. I hope that doesn't hurt them too much cost wise.

 

[JackDT]

That's astonishing really.

8GB at 176GB/s!

That difference is huge, vastly larger than 360 to PS3. That is like the same game at 1080/60 vs 720/30 on Durango...

 

[Lagspike_exe]

MOTHERBOARD COMPLEXITY

CROW DELIVERY INCOMING

 

[Into]

My mind literally blew up, its all over the floor, scattered

 

[gaming_noob]

HOLY FUCK. GDDR5. Fuck more powerful than rumors! FUCK YEA@!

 

[2San]

This is more than any PC GPU out there afaik. Sony is insane.

edit: Keep in mind people this is just RAM though, doesn't mean it's faster then top PC GPU's.

[BeEatNU]

But is it DDR5?

yep he stated it later on

 

[Jzero]

More RAM than my PC...

 

[Derrick01]

8GB GDDR5 is a fucking game changer. Holy shit.

 

[yankeehater]

Wow, Sony is going all the fucking way. Day 1 for sure.

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

I have no problem admitting I was wrong. I never expected anyone to pursue 8GB of GDDR5. I hope that doesn't hurt them too much cost wise.

8GB!!!!!!!! GDDR5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[magawolaz]

699 US DOLLARS

 

[DBT85]

DAT 8GB of GDDR5.

Honestly nobody who knows about this shit expected that.

Where is Thuway.

 

[JCizzle]

they went for it all. My God.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Good shit by Sony, I wish I liked Dualshock

 

[Demon Ice]

Holy shit

Everyone was so sure it was gonna be 4.

Wow.

 

[BlackLagoon]

Believe!

 

[shinobi602]

MS better change that 8GB DDR3 real quick or else this thing is going to leave the 720 in the dust lol.

 

[T-0800]

Holy shit, GDDR5.

I'm wondering about the price of this thing. Holy shit.

Who cares how much. With those specs I'll pay whatever.

 

[DonMigs85]

Holy shit, wonder if Microsoft will bump their spec. Probably too late now.

 

[Ding-Ding]

Holy Mary Mother of GOD!!!

Thats obscene

 

[NinjaFridge]

Well then...

 

[Zeal]

Shit.....shit...

Microsoft....do....something...

 

[Proelite]

GG MS?

 

[Galang]

So so good

 

[theman5141]

Amazing. I'm actually salivating at the possibilities afforded by such an exorbitant amount of RAM in a closed box, trying to extrapolate from the miracle feats accomplished with the paltry 512MB on the PS3 and X360.

 

[Majanew]

Welp, we now know Thuway is a fake. He even gave dimensions that he later changed his mind to after made fun of.

 

[Lemonz]

Mind Blown.

 

[Jindujun]

8gb GDDR5... not only is that overkill but wouldnt this skyrocket the production costs??

 

[AranhaHunter]

Please be fast RAM, please be fast RAM, please be fast RAM

 

[Durante]

It would be incredibly entertaining to read previous memory speculation

Fuck everything, we're going 8 GB GDDR5!

 

[AndyH]

But GAF experts told me this was impossible.

Good times ahead for PlayStation it appears.

 

[Insane Metal]

OMG SONY I'LL BUY 2!!!

 

[metalslimer]

I fucking happily eat as much crow as possible. This is fucking crazy.

 

[Moral Panic]

eating so much crow right now

 

[onQ123]

Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sothpaw]

Only 8 less than my PC MEGATON!!!
