Comment on Do you think my games should have optional calls to assembly functions for certain CPUs and GPUs if possible.

  On modern CPUs it doesn’t matter that much. And any optimization would have to be updated for each CPU type (Zen/4, Alder lake, etc.) Modern CPUs have insane out of order execution that makes compiler generated code nearly as fast as the most optimized handwritten ones.

      99% of the time, memory is the bottleneck. It’s why DMA is so huge of a feature.
