No, but they need more than one byte per clock cycle, in some
situations. The C64 does the same thing, during badlines and sprite
access. So yes, if you fill the screen with badlines and cover it with
sprites, you would theoretically need about 2 MB/s, but in reality you
only need it in short bursts.
