> The question is: what kind of problems are people needing that want 400GB/s bandwidth on a CPU? Well, probably none frankly.

It is needed for analytic databases, e.g. ClickHouse: https://presentations.clickhouse.com/meetup53/optimizations/

This is some seriously interesting stuff.

But they are demonstrating with 16 cores + 30 GB/s & 128 cores + 190 GB/s. And to my understanding they did not really mention what type of computational load did they perform. So this does not sound too ridiculous. M1 max is pairing 8 cores + 400GB/s.
