This has puzzled me for a while. The cited system has 2x89.6 GB/s bandwidth. But a single CCD can do at most 64GB/s of sequential reads. Are claims like "Apple Silicon having 400GB/s" meaningless? I understand a typical single logical CPU can't do more than 50-70GB/s, and it seems like a group of CPU's typically shares a mem controller which is similarly limited.

To rephrase: is it possible to cause 100% mem bandwith utilization with only or 1 or 2 CPU's doing the work per CCD?
