Not really. Afaik integer multiplication still usually has lower instruction per cycle throughput than addition and obviously even if it were faster that would only apply to 32 but 64 bit etc integers not big integer multiplication.

I think the article is talking about floating point addition. Integer addition it is very hard to beat.
