esp32s3: maximum display bus speed? Overhead of GPIO matrix

[exe]

Hello my friends!

I'm connecting a display (16 bit bus) to esp32s3. I'd like to understand how much speed I can get. The datasheet says the MCU can deliver up to 40MHz on 8080-style bus, pin assignment doesn't matter ("5.2.1.4 LCD and Camera Controller"). However, I also remember that using GPIO matrix makes SPI bus twice slower.

Question: is there a way to bypass GPIO matrix for 16-bit bus and does this make sense? Or it adds just a static latency? I can't figure this out from the datasheet.

Use IOMux to directly connect pins and peripherals, avoiding the gpio Matrix latency.

LCD bus doesn't support direct output, unfortunately. I'm attaching screenshot from esp32s technical reference, "Table 6-2. Peripheral Signals via GPIO Matrix"

Even if the GPIO matrix causes it to go slower, let's say 16MHz, it's a 16-bit parellel bus, should provide decent throughput for 60fps+ in most screens.
