Interesting how many of these are related to video encoding. While I can understand wanting to micro optimize performance for this sort of work when done in the CPU, I would think that if you truly wanted maximum performance, you’d offload this to something like a GPU or other hardware offering this feature. Emulators make sense I suppose. I’ve only ever seen modern assembly in the wild in small parts, in say a kernel or something like coreboot. I’ve been told by graphics programmers and game devs that’s its not uncommon to hand roll assembly code in those domains, which was suprising to me
