I'm quite sure it uses Z-Ram ('sup Arun!). This has been AMD's big secret all along, they've bet the company on Z-Ram and had to suffer the punishment until it was truly ready. Now, it finally is!

The fact that that made up bonkers diagram is being taken seriously saddens me. It clearly has too few ARM cores on board to be legit. Also, it needs more un-obtainium for its octo-precision...

That's actually an extensive copy&paste exercise from their older manual. So it is inaccurate in quite a few (sometimes non-obvious) places. Moreover, the Jag one seems far more polished (as is to be...
