No. It’s an archittectural difference, and you actually just mentioned a lot of the problem.

TLDR: Combined memory pool doesn’t need to recopy things, and console OSes are very lightweight and single-tasked.

PS5 and Xbox Series use a single pool of RAM for both the CPU and GPU. Once the CPU has made a call for an asset,…

At the rate they are going simplifying designs, soon they will just be balls with faces.

Let the Inceneroar/Meowscarada forbidden romance slashfic COMMENCE!
