RAM represents the short-term memory available to games being played on a system – in very simple terms, the more you have available, the more a game can load at one time.
Mike Ybarra followed up by explaining what it means for a developer not to use the full complement of free RAM on Scorpio, and the difference it makes overall:
Games that don’t use the full 9GB, the rest of the RAM will be used as a cache (making things load way faster, etc.). All games = better. https://t.co/yZTGOvBJRx

With this announcement the Project Scorpio will be more powerful than before. Microsoft is bringing the hype to all Xbox fans just a couple of days before the E3 2017 begins.
