After tearing down the Wii U console, it would appear some folks have managed to discover some details about the Wii U’s RAM.
The console is apparently making use of 2GB of Samsung DDR3 memory. It runs at a max speed of 17GB/s.
How does that stack up to other consoles? The PlayStation 3 runs at 25.6GB/s while the Xbox 360 runs at 22.4GB/s:
360: 22.4 GB/s + eDRAM for framebuffer
PS3: 25.6 GB/s main memory BW + 22.4 GB/s graphics memory BW, no eDRAM
Wii U’s eDRAM amount as well as speed are currently unknown.
