    Could it work?

    Yes, but it would require:

    • A redesigned memory controller capable of tiering RAM (which would be more complex).
    • OS-level support for dynamically assigning memory usage based on speed (Operating systems and applications assume all RAM operates at the same speed).
    • Applications/libraries optimized to take advantage of this tiering.

    Right now, the easiest solution for fast, high-bandwidth RAM is just to solder all of it.
