mmoy - They may have determined they're better served overall with the L2 they have, then adding ZRAM L3 which will be much denser(@2x/5x denser than SRAM/eDRAM), allowing a pretty large L3 with latency that is still far quicker than main memory. If they increase the size of the L2 much more, they may have to slow it down more than they feel will be effective for this architecture.
