Why is this bullshit upvoted?
Already the first sentence, they change from the headline "without recoding" to "with further optimization".
Then the explanation "a companion chip that optimizes processing tasks in real-time"
This is already done at compiler level and internally in any modern CPU for more than a decade.

It might be possible to some degree for some specific forms of code, like maybe Java. But generally for the CPU this is bullshit, and the headline is decidedly dishonest.
