FYI -- "DCO": Yet more lovely places for malware to hide. The executing code is "translated" into a microcode buffer, but who gets to be in charge of said translation?
"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." -- Josef Stalin
I believe that these DCO processors have already been picked up for widespread use in automobiles, including self-driving cars.
What, me worry?

Dynamic Code Optimization and the NVIDIA Denver Processor
Nathan Tuck NVIDIA
About the talk:
NVIDIA's first 64-bit ARM processor, code-named Denver, leverages a host of new technologies to enable high-performance mobile computing. Implemented in a 28-nm process, the Denver CPU can attain clock speeds of up to 2.5 GHz. This talk will outline the Denver architecture and describe some of its technological innovations. In particular this talk will discuss some of the motivations and advantages of dynamic code optimization.
