Datacenter Ethernet has too much overhead to make a difference in almost all cases. Disks have an even higher overhead:distance ratio. The size of a motherboard only matters for signal integrity, not that half a nanosecond extra. Cache location inside a chip can matter, but even then size is a significantly bigger factor than location.
