You mean the 32ns refresh? That's not access speeds my friend, that is how often that a bit in a DRAM cell is refreshed. All DRAM needs to be refreshed since data is stored in a capacitor and needs to be replenished as caps leak when they're disconnected from active power. Other than that, I see no mention of 32ns there.

That "32ns" sounds a lot like tRFC on DDR3 chips, not access latency.
