It's from pirate special myth, from the number you provided and if my math aren't wrong that's about 8Gb/s, that is a lot of data to transfer and process every second, this is from 10 years ago computer hardware that's nut
Bandwidth really depends on which busses you're talking about. Within a computer, 8Gb/s is peanuts.
Even in 2003, a single PCIE v1.0 lane could do 2 Gb/s. Today, in the end-user commercial space, a single PCIE 5.0 lane can do 32Gb/s. That's a connection that can be external to some degree. Not even talking about memory busses and internal caches that are already approaching terabytes a second.
