Does different ram types make a difference?

So most flagship phones have LPDDR4 or LPDDR4X and Samsung are set to have LPDDR5. They are believed to be at least 30% more power-efficient than the LPDDR4X chips and up to 1.5x faster achieving data transfer speeds of around 6,400Mbps.

Does it factor in for emulation speed/fps?

Care to explain? I always thought dolphin was restricted by the memory bandwidth on android (plus phones drivers ofcourse)

Of course it would . Much of Dolphins implementation is Ram dependent, especially for "hacks" (workarounds is a better term lol) which utilize Ram to take workload off cpu/gpu . Ram speed more so than size.

This doesn't make much sense.

RAM speed is very, very, very rarely the bottleneck with Dolphin. It's almost always CPU or GPU speed that is the bottleneck, and probably 95% of the time it's just a CPU bottleneck.

I'm locking this because the question was answered ages ago and more recent developments in this thread got real stupid
