   I don't know about you but I never cease to be amazed by the hardware we   
   have available. I was looking for some figures on memory bandwidth and   
   came across this:   
      
      https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/memory-bandwidth-napkin-math/   
      
   There's a bunch of stuff there that's worth a read but perhaps the   
   headline is that the author says RAM can be accessed at tens of   
   gigabytes per second!   
      
   Such figures are backed up by   
      
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interface_bit_rates   
      
   so they seem to be correct.   
      
   Mind blowing, isn't it!
