Before getting into the GPU side, several optimizations have been done on the CPU side: Culling is now done in a brute-force way which is extremely cache efficient. Everything in the main frame is culled at the same time, objects, light cascades, SDFGI cascades, etc. These test do culling on 10k objects.
