It is an interesting question however, that deserves study... IE the Intel interleaving controller talks to each memory bank independently, to rip the data in parallel, then dumps it over the bus as fast as it can take it, meanwhile allowing the memory banks to be "free" for requests from other processors 2x or 4x faster (depending on whether it uses 2-way or 4-way interleaving.)
