As far as I am aware, this saying is based on the reasoning behind C types rather than serious compiler considerations. In today's world such cpu-specific concerns are left to the compiler to figure out.

I'm sure you could contrive a language where this functionality is exposed, but I'm struggling to come with an example where this would be seriously beneficial across multiple platforms.

I strongly suspect that integrating editors of existing languages with tooling that informs programmers on how a given chunk of code performs with parallel execution units would be far more beneficial than inventing a language dedicated to such concerns at this time.

I guess that’s what intel and amd were relying on, while nvidia let cuda programmers control the gpu cache explicitly.

I can't speak to CUDA or GPUs as I've never had a reason to use either. Perhaps we've finally left the land of the PDP.
