First hints are that whilst memory bitcells have not increased in speed
since the 90s (around 150 mhz), increasing the bank width, striping, and
-datapath widths and speeds to the same has allowed
-significant apparent speed increases: 3200 mhz DDR4 and even faster DDR5,
-and other advanced Memory interfaces such as HBM, Gen-Z, and OpenCAPI,

all make an effort (all simply increasing the parallel deployment of
the underlying 150 mhz bitcells), but these efforts are dwarfed by the
two nearly three orders of magnitude increase in CPU horsepower
