Do you have any examples of this handy? I have seen a lot of cases of idioms and algorithm design changing to match the exact CPU model. Approximate CPU generation, sure: try hard to cut down on memory traffic - but that's true for every CPU nowadays. Misaligned accesses aren't expensive anymore - but there's almost never any good reason to do them anyway. What else is there?
