Most of crypto hashes implementations in Go are hand written assembly for specific platforms.

No, there are no algorithm changes (otherwise the results would be different), it is just taking advantage of the ARM SHA accelerations when they are available.

I a change in algorithm does not necessarily lead to change in results. Two algorithms that produce the same results may be disparate, but I suppose it's up to your definition of disparate

Insertionsort, Mergesort and Timsort are three wildly different algorithms with different speeds, but on every possible input they produce the exact same result
Still a worthwhile article but the title seemed to make me think of implementation/algorithm changes.
