It's actually incorrect that AZ got better results that AGZ with less compute. The graph shows the large AGZ, which somewhat exceeded the rating of both the small AGZ and AZ. AZ did slightly outperform the small AGZ, but did so while using a similar amount of compute.

On the broader point though, I agree with this. We say that compute and algorithms are complementary in the post. Much of the time, when you come up with an algorithm that allows you to do something that used to cost X compute in 0.2X compute instead, you can use the new algorithm to do something significantly more impressive with the full X compute.
