TL/DL: yes, it does, and by significant amount

Key fob has nRF52840l, 64 MHz ARM, 1024 KB Flash, 256 KB RAM

Apollo Guidance Computer was 2MHz, ~72 KB ROM, ~4 KB RAM

The comparison might be up to 10x different due to more efficient architecture and different MIPS/MHz ratio, but it does not change much, since the differences are so dramatic.

(This is based on links in the podcast description, which I assume what they talked about. Those pretty new keyfobs, older ones might have something like nRF24LE01, which is only 16 MHz, 18 KB Flash, 1KB RAM)
