Exactly. In principle even memory can be renamed, although I'm not sure any current CPU actually does it (there are rumors). It would be great if the actual SSA graph could be directly passed from the compiler to the CPU, but what's saved by getting rid of renaming would probably be used to handle the much harder decoding. It would probably have implications for context switching overhead.
