> its not that hard to imagine why 48TBs of RAM beats out any other architecture (including Optane or Flash).

Agree to disagree.

In-memory databases are common yes, but it is pretty hard to imagine practical situations where an in-memory database can't handle a few nanoseconds of additional latency.

All else being equal, of course more RAM is nice to have. All else is not equal, though, so this is all highly theoretical.

But it is fun to think about!
