That seems fair, CUDA kernels and shader code do feel like they're at a similar level of abstraction over the hardware as C was to the PDP-11. But I do think there isn't really an equivalent for modern CPU ISAs

Mabie hand-rolling LLVM IR representations would count.

		Doesn't assembly allow devs to ignore speculative execution as well? You can place LFENCE(x86)/CSDB(arm) around code blocks, but you can do that in C too.
