Citation needed! Processors have had multiplication in silicon since forever, and compiler writers aren't stupid. You can even check on https://godbolt.org/ with old versions. I bet you can't find a compiler from 1999 that won't optimize an unsigned integer multiply to a bit shift without turning off optimisations.
