I worked for a state government that was in the process of migrating hundreds of Oracle DBs from VMWare VMs to Exadata servers. I think combined they had over 20TBs of RAM. I asked one of the DBAs about how much better performance was and he said he typically saw at least a 10x increase in QPS and reduction in latency.

Samsung has a SmartSSD with a FPGA on it to offload compute to the drives.
