I probably distorted the original comment I read. The idea being having massive bandwidth so your processor could iterate over a very large dataset (for the era) constantly. Unlike mainstream processors, with way faster clock speeds but more bottlenecks, so for personal computing workload they were perfectly suited, but anything larger would cause performance drops. Thanks for all your informations.
