Why create more faster processors despite of Processor Memory Bottleneck? The shared bus between the program memory and data memory leads to the von Neumann bottleneck, the limited throughput (data transfer rate) between the central processing unit (CPU) and memory compared to the amount of memory. Because the single bus can only access one of the two classes of memory at a time, throughput is lower than the rate at which the CPU can work. This seriously limits the effective processing speed when the CPU is required to perform minimal processing on large amounts of data. The CPU is continually forced to wait for needed data to be transferred to or from memory. Since CPU speed and memory size have increased much faster than the throughput between them, the bottleneck has become more of a problem, a problem whose severity increases with every newer generation of CPU.

There can be up to a 53% difference between the growth in speed of processor speeds and the lagging speed of main memory access. 

So, if the processor-memory performance gap is so big then isn't creating more powerfull processors useless ?
Creating faster processors with more cores makes sense because more speed and more cores is not the only change.

Big changes are: 


Bigger caches. Ryzen Threadripper has up to 288MB of cache. My iPhone has more than 16 MB of cache. Your processor can do an awful lot of work without ever touching RAM. 
More memory bandwidth. Data transfer has gone from 32 bit to 64 bit to 128 bit to 256 bit transfers in parallel and not stopping there. 
Improved streaming. The time needed to move consecutive data is very much improved, so the right algorithms can process data at massive speed. 
Changed algorithms. If I know that memory access speed has become the bottleneck, then I can change algorithms that were optimal with a processor of ten years ago to be optimal on today's processors.
