Oh, for sure; it's entirely a byproduct of engineering an SOC that needs high GPU bandwidth. That doesn't stop Apple from marketing it as a CPU boon though, and it certainly didn't stop starry-eyed HN readers from losing their minds over a spec that only a small handful of people care about. Even price-to-performance, a figure that hasn't been relevant for nearly 2 decades of commodity computing, is a better metric to advertise than memory bandwidth. People simply won't notice the difference.
