“CPUs are optimized for video games”
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I find it completely fine and reasonable that CPUs are optimized for games and weakly optimized for crypto, because games are what people want.<p>Sometimes I can't help but wonder how the world where there is no need to spend endless billions on "cybersecurity", "infosec" would look like. Perhaps these billions would be used to create more value for the people. I find it insane that so much money and manpower is spent on scrambling the data to "secure" it from vandal-ish script kiddies (sometimes hired by governments), there is definitely something unhealthy about it.
