"If it is, I doubt they'd take a risk like enabling Z-RAM, an unproven technology that could delay their 45nm ramp if they can't get it to yield well or ramp in volumes." It isn't going to be in the initial chips. We already know that. However, it could be introduced at some later point as a mid-life kicker. That wouldn't be as risky. I could see them remasking for a different L3. But, I don't see them reworking the cache control circuitry for it. That would be a big risk. Given we haven't heard squat, I don't think ZRAM has panned out for them. At this point, I think it is more likely to show up on a GPU than a CPU.
