Re: "Redesigning the Shanghai core will require a lot of man power that could be better suited for projects that actually make contribute to revenue, rather than practice."

>> Correct. In fact, I made this point. I went even further, I pointed out it probably wouldn't make any sense to change the cache policy to inclusive from exclusive to enable ZRAM in Shanghai. But, you are claiming it would take more changes for that, and you haven't made a case for it but to wave your hands and spout buzz words. That may fly on the Intel board, but...


I'm not pointing out anything more than the obvious. You think that AMD can design an L3 block to the exact specifications of the Shanghai cache block, except made out of Z-RAM as opposed to SRAM, and then have it be as easy as swapping blocks. Real engineers know that this theory of yours is full of manure.
