Video codecs are a really good example of this too. We went from slow and unreliable video decoding in the CPU, to fully offboard / unsupervised decoders (remember the 90s MPEG-2/DVD players that would just blit onto a green part of the screen, where your computer never actually saw the data off the disc?), to CPU/firmware supervised custom hardware (Apple's decoder, for example, uses firmware on a Cortex to lower decoding commands into an IR which runs on custom execution units). With RISC-V making it cheap to add custom instructions, I wouldn't be surprised to see video decoding move to on-chip RISC-V cores with custom instruction set extensions.
