The Memory Bandwidth chart displays DRAM and/or PMem Bandwidth graphs of the host.

This chart is available in the Memory pane of the View dropdown menu of vSphere Client for a host instance at Performance > Overview tab. The Memory pane gives information about Memory Bandwidth in addition to the Memory Utilization and Memory Reclamation information. It also gives the Memory Miss Rate, but only in Memory mode.
Note: PMem Bandwidth is only available on supported hosts configured in Memory Mode. If the host is not supported by vMMR, then the Memory option is not listed in the View dropdown menu.
