If you do not know the processor your C will not be optimum.

Also, if you do not know both the language & the compiler well, you will not be able to use them to best effect.

Just as any craftsman needs to know both his materials & his tools - both strengths & weaknesses.

there is no need to globally go back to writing assembler

Quite so: a good 'C' programmer with a good understanding of the target and with good tools should not need to resort to assembler very often - but would be well-equipped to realise when it's necessary.
