Petz,

ZRAM. 16 or 32MB of on-die local memory for the GPU is a real force muliplier.

Yup. There is a portion of memory (of GPU) which needs a huge R/W bandwidth, operations on the display buffer. Z-RAM bandwidth could be much better than anything from external memory, which could even increase performance.

Then there is another portion of graphics memory which is just texture cache, and it needs less bandwidth.
