Zend Opcache is part of PHP 5.5, however, it's not enabled by default. It's a successor to APC cache--meaning APC cache is never going to be compatible with PHP 5.5 or higher
Opcache is also around 10% faster than APC, and more stable.
However, if you're on PHP 5.3 or PHP 5.4, you can still use ZendOpCache, and it should still be a bit faster than APC
