Modern processors already run 250 times faster than the memory system is able to feed data into it.
Not true at all. The latency from memory is around 250 clocks, but that does not mean they "run 250 times faster than memory can feed data into it." Modern memory throughputs are on the order of gigabytes or dozens of gigabytes per second, rather than your claimed (2Ghz / 250) = 8 megabytes per second.
