Taking that as true for a moment, I wonder what other programming languages get a benefit from Apple's silicon then? PHP et al. use reference counting too, do they get a free win, or is there something particular about Obj-C and Swift?

Not the specific thing mentioned in the article. There is other hardware that optimizes Objective-C specifically, but it’s a branch hint.
