They're great presentations with a lot of depth in the notes. I think videos are around somewhere if you prefer that. Two specifics I'd mention: It seems a lot of games now use feedback between frames as a way to tolerate the latency of moving data between CPU and GPU. Eg the CPU will use GPU crunched data from the previous frame as a source for CPU crunching that optimizes what data gets passed to the GPU next. The other is that fixed functionality is moving into shaders. Unreal 5 uses a mix of hardware rasterization and software rasterization in a shader (and path tracing now as well). There the tradeoff between the two is triangle size in pixels.
