Ram isn't really faster, it just different.
SNES was the first system to have a unified memory pool, while Genesis had split memory pool with each chip functioning on it's own.
The Genesis CPU Was almost 2x faster than SNES CPU, that was due to Nintendo scrapping NES BC at the last minute in development.
The SNES CPU had more modes and capabilities built into it, allowing it to do plenty of 3D stuff that Genesis couldn't handle.
SNES had the better sound chip too.
Genesis was able to the spec war thanks Sega marketing how their CPU was 2x more powerful than SNES CPU, thus Genesis is known for being more powerful.

Actually Nintendo ran the ads during adult programing and mostly on cable.
They also had ads on non gaming site too.
Though many of the American ads had an ESRB warning in the middle.
I remember seeing a bunch of them.
