Those old cores are wildly efficient if you're just twiddling bits and shuffling data. And on modern processes you can run them at GHz clock speeds.

  For the core alone, sure, but don't you have to run them off static ram or something (that is, not slow DRAM) to get anywhere near those speeds in practice?

    Yeah but code size is tiny, might be as small as a few hundred bytes.
