> It's interesting to see that modern processor optimization still revolves around balancing hardware for specific tasks

Asking sincerely: what’s specifically so interesting about that? That is what I would naively expect.

It's also important to note that in modern hardware the processor core proper is just one piece in a very large system.

Hardware designers are adding a lot of speciality hardware, they're just not putting it into the core, which also makes a lot of sense.
