Factorio is CPU-bound in the sense that it isn't memory or GPU-bound.

Sure, this will put a limit on megabases, but it should be performant enough for a pretty large factory.

It is absolutely memory-bound, just not memory size-bound but memory-speed-bound.

IIRC few of their blogs go into detail, where data layout and way to access it was main limit, not actual computation speed for some operation
