Possibly RDMA over thunderbolt. But for RoCE (RDMA over converged Ethernet) obviously not because it's sitting on top of Ethernet. Now that could still have a higher throughput when you factor in CPU time to run custom protocols that smart NICs could just DMA instead, but the overhead is still definitively higher
