If you don't have to worry about replaceable sticks and users choosing their own memory manufacturer, speed and size then you can shorten the traces and improve connectivity including the bus width and its latency. I can't help but think the DIMM format is coming to an end.

I don't expect them to change their entire pipeline. But surely they could offer a unified RAM lineup that caters to specific needs. Not everyone needs that fast RAM access but for those who do it could be nice to have an option. The writing is on the wall for years now.
