You and Allen may need to talk. I believe that you are correct in processors prior to the z9. I've been told that all this changed with the z9. (But then, I haven't looked for any official documentation concerning this, as we won't be in the market for a z9 for a few years.)

Also 2 GB statement is wrong, it depends on number of devices, number of LPs etc It may range from less than 2 GB to up to 4.5 GB for a fully configured system. There is a HSA Estimator Tool available for this on Resource Link.
