On both RE and IR, additional RMs gives you additional pixel performance
and pixel depth for more framebuffer memory resources - bigger framebuffers
and/or more of them with more depth. For example, more samples per
pixel, or the ability to do 16 samples of multisample with stereo buffers, etc.

You get to keep your grandmother :-)
IR has an RM6 that can be currently configured with 16 or 64 MBytes of
texture memory.
