Previously we had L2 caches that was only used by a particular core and slices of L3 which was tied to a particular core but could contain values used by other cores as well. Now we have L2 caches that are tied to a particular core but can contain values used by other cores as well. Especially with the partition into virtual L3 and virtual L4 I think this is an important evolution beyond your old MOESI or whatever but I'd still say that this is more evolutionary than revolutionary.
