Agreed. I wonder if this silicon is designed for this benchmark and if not how useful is it with real code.

I would be surprised if this silicon area could not be better utilized for something else

No, branch predictors are really important and even small improvements in them are extremely valuable on real loads. Improving branch prediction is both a power and a performance optimization.
