gollark: And causes all kinds of weirdness, since they then try and speed it up again.
gollark: It probably does slow it down a lot, though.
gollark: It's a bit closer to *GPU* hardware, since I think they get rid of some of the crazier C-y optimizations for more cores.
gollark: The closest thing to how CPUs actually run is - obviously - their microcode.
gollark: There's also some sort of GPU assembly thing, too...
