Author here for your 8087 questions. I find adders and ALUs interesting because they are key to the performance of a system and every system implements them differently.

Any idea how much adder designs changed on modern CPUs compared to back then? I mean there's only so much you can optimize in those, I think...

No immediate questions, but happy to have some great weekend reading. A quick pass through finds one of the best and clearest explainers I've seen. Thanks for this and all the materials you produce.
