Yes, the M-series chips effectively use several "channels" of RAM (depending on the tier/size of chip) while most desktop parts, including the 9950x, are dual-channel. You get 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth per channel of DDR5-6400. You can get 8-RAM-channel motherboards and CPUs and have 400 GB/s of DDR5 too, but you pay a price for the modularity and capacity over it all being integrated and soldered. DIMMs will also have worse latency than soldered chips and have a max clock speed penalty due to signal degradation at the copper contacts. A Threadripper Pro 9955WX is $1649, a WRX90 motherboard is around $1200, and 8x16GB sticks of DDR5 RDIMMS is around $1200, $2300 for 8x32GB, $3700 for 8x64GB sticks, $6000 for 8x96GB. | |||||||||||||||||

Or you can get a strix halo 395+ that has 8 memory channels with a max of 128gb of ram. I think it does around 400 GB/s | |||||||||||||||||
