More memory controllers would add more bandwidth. That can help, but few workloads are bottlenecked by memory bandwidth. What's really needed is less memory latency, which has not improved as much as bandwidth.

"few workloads are bottlenecked by memory bandwidth" becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy at a certain point. Especially when companies are marketing AI stuff but still sticking with 128 bit memory busses for their mainstream models. Except for Apple, the only company competing on this metric.
