PS5, Next Xbox Will Likely Have 8 to 12GB of RAM, Says Hellpoint Dev
 

In yet another round of next-generation console speculation, Hellpoint developer Marc-Andre Jutras has returned with the theory that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett will sport 8 to 12GB of RAM. Jutras also suspects the consoles will feature dedicated VRAM instead of a unified memory pool (both the PS4 and Xbox One utilize a shared-RAM configuration) in order to achieve 4K graphics. "One thing that is going to change will be, you will get a lot more focus on the VRAM, which is the big bottleneck right now if you want good 4K games, because 4K frame buffer takes a lot of space," he said. "So if you end up with a 4K buffer, you need four times the VRAM. So I think you will see, you won't see shared RAM space next gen like you do with the PS4. I don't think you will see that because it's a big bottleneck. You'll see more VRAM to support 4K and 5K and whatever else comes around."
