The memory model is also more complex, but then again people tend to expect reliability rather than speed when they are messing with bank balances. There's not a lot of point clocking the cpu faster than it can eat data, so to a large extent the cpu is gated by the cache and memory subsystem design.
The memory is not unique design. There are regular DIMMs inside the book. High quality, ECC, good brand, but still same technology as in PC. Memory controllers are probably completely different, but the "back-end" (DIMMs) are not.
