I was hoping they would at least make a passing reference to Amdahl's Law.

As you optimize one part of the system so that it is blazingly fast or lower power or whatever, then the amount taken up by the rest of the system increases proportionally.

(In other words, real performance wins happen gradually as all the parts receive their own little optimizations which add up.)

Sounds a lot like how to play factorio.
