Explicit sufficient conditions on the hypercontractivity are presented for two classes of functional stochastic partial differential equations driven by, respectively, non-degenerate and degenerate Gaussian noises. Consequently, these conditions imply that the associated Markov semigroup is L2-compact and exponentially convergent to the stationary distribution in entropy, variance and total variational norm. As the log-Sobolev inequality is invalid under the framework, we apply a criterion presented in the recent paper \citeWang14 using Harnack inequality, coupling property and Gaussian concentration property of the stationary distribution. To verify the concentration property, we prove a Fernique type inequality for infinite-dimensional Gaussian processes which might be interesting by itself.
