Most of the top supercomputers are similar to Frontier, they use AMD or Intel CPUs, with GPU accelerators, and Cray Slingshot or Infiniband networks in a Dragonfly+ configuration. The emergence of chiplet technology also allows higher performance and integration without having to design every chip from scratch.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. It was a great privilege. Ford, et al., “TCP

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.
