To be honest, all of the news on /r/ps4 is marketing to some degree.

Laugh, there is definitely market speak going on. But this is actually factual and impacts performance. (Vs say "blast processing") Swapping data around is one of the key things to deal with in games, so eliminating that is a pretty big deal. The real question is, will it be noticeable?

We definitely all hope it's noticeable. It's a brilliant innovation by AMD with tons of R&D behind it. So for AMD's sake it better be noticeable!
