The size of the eSram isn't really an issue, it's big enough to provide all the ram required for the intermediate requirements of the GPU pipeline. MS have measured real world game code getting average esram utilisation of 150GB/s. Concurrently with 50GB/s from ddr3. Giving an average, real world bandwidth of 200GB/s (so 3/4 of ram requests are coming off the eSram.) Peaking at 274GB/s. Measured by MS and published in the DF interview.The x1 is a bandwidth monster.
Seriously? Then Why aren't Nvidia and AMD sticking a few GB of ddr3 and 32MB of esam on their cards for some monster bandwidth?
