OoO is a surprisingly old idea, first used in the IBM System/360 Model 91 released all the way back in 1966.

Took a while until transistor budgets allowed it to be implemented in consumer microprocessors.

Also for the gap between CPU speed and memory speed to matter enough for it to be worthwhile.
