Joe,

Shanghai is just a shrink of Barcelona. 6MB L3 is a rather good indicator that Shanghai doesn't feature ZRAM (just shrunken SRAM).

The only opportunity I'm seeing for ZRAM is for a complete redesign after Shanghai as cache hierarchy redesign is a biggy because it influences non cache parts of the processor too.

Also if ZRAM doesn't arrive with the redesign it probably isn't coming ever.

My 2c. Regards,

Rink
