Better but not quite yet, only 3 orders of magnitude off instead of 6 ;-)
Memory access times were already counted in nanoseconds 25 years ago.

Looks still very low, very conservative bridge timings? This means a
cache line read (32 bytes) every 700ns or so. Even if you dirty every
cache line, doubling the traffic, this means 350ns per burst transfer.
