Following the same trend, the PS5 having 128GB of RAM seems a little ridiculous now, but consider that the PS4 was released in 2013, and the PS3 in 2006, so perhaps in 2020 it may really have that much.


Yeah i thought about that too. My PC already had 8GB of RAM in 2009 and even today that is still totally fine for most games. However, consoles usually share RAM between GPU and CPU though and high end PC GPUs today have up to 8GB of VRAM which will only increase once 4K content becomes more common place, so something like 64GB shared RAM for a supposed PS5 does not sound so outlandish as it may seem at first glance.


I think that by then we'll have solid-state memory or something like that.
