Isn't the last news from the Fusion front that Fusion will be an MCM?

Of course it is. "Falcon", the first "Fusion" part due sometime in 2009 (I'm guessing Dec. 31), is just an MCM, Pete's fantasies notwithstanding, as usual.

30MB with 1-2ns access time.

If he's going to make things up, why not really go for it, and claim 30GB with 1-2ps access time?

Joe, > Which agrees with what I said

So you agree that ZRAM would have a 1-2ns access time?

That's pretty impressive, given that the access time of SRAM is around 10ns, LOL ...

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
