Ryzen and some ARMs use perceptrons for branch prediction. It's essentially a single-layer neural network with no nonlinearity at the end. Multi-megabyte NNs for a normal branch predictor would be impossible; way too high latency to be useful.

  No, matrix multiplication is just an implementation detail.
