You wouldn't even be able to transfer the data out of memory at speed. Even if you overclocked your DDR4 ram to crazy levels - you'd tap out at 50GB/s - a far cry from 1Tbs/s.

There is very little practical use to speeds beyond 10 gigabit for home use unless you have some insane PCIE storage or keep a giant ram drive. (Which again asks the practical use category - what are you doing?)

Give it a few years and we'll all be wondering how SPA web apps became gigabytes in size and trying to work out how to make 1Tbs/s to the home practical.
