that's the thing. latency to RAM is everything. I would take 10x lower bandwidth in RAM vs 100x better latency from CPU to RAM.

The only x86 CPU that does this is the Xeon Max: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/pro...

There are other possible solutions but they are expensive.

the problem with Macs, among other things, is lack of ECC RAM.
