Not a ton, the inexorable march to wider scalar dispatch, deeper pipelines, and ever less uniform geometries (I pine for the halcyon days of two NUMA modes with a QPI bar) has made asymmetrical fencing juicy enough to be be worth the squeeze at the margins, you weren't seeing a ton of `asm volatile ""` on one side and `membarrier()` on the other a decade ago and you'll see that now.
But I think Nathan Bronson's work out of IIRC Standford about 10 or 15 years ago is still more or less the canvas you paint on.
