With iron blocks and heads heat losses would be minimised at the source, while heat retention would be maximised.
It will be interesting to see what they actually do that is truly new.

yes, or maybe they can go to a thermo-barrier coating at specific locations to keep heat in in these area's .
I kind of doubt they go cast block an head ,well maybe in small engine but not broader range of engine size (V6/V8 ) .
