This makes me wonder how/if the use of eg x86 (with all it's legacy parts) gives us overhead (in various modern use cases). - Does it cost much (energy/latency/materials/design effort) to do hardware translation (relatively)? - How much hardware translation is typically involved for modern consumer chips? (hard to put a number on it but I wonder about the part of the gap between HLL and HW bridged by hardware translation) I am eager to know more about the subject :-) Super interesting all these trade-offs, now I start to see the "art" in the design choices.
