I think your math is missing some details.

An RTX 4090 has a memory bandwidth of 1,008 GB/s.

PCIe 4 x16 has a 32GB/s bandwidth.

DDR4 RAM has 3200 MT/s transfer rate.

An AMD 5900x can easily max that out.

A good NVME can hit 7 GB/s read speeds or better.

And the 4-bit CUDA kernels can pack 16x 4-bit ints into a single 64-bit transfer / register.
