What this part means
The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.
Its job in the formula
A subscript distinguishes a version, component, step, or member of a quantity. It does not automatically mean multiplication.

The passage around this formula
That structural fact can be written compactly. If is the (roughly fixed, application-set) power envelope in watts and is the achieved energy efficiency of the best available accelerator at time t , measured in tera-operations per second per watt, then the usable on-device compute throughput is approximately
Learn the underlying idea
A subscript is a label attached below a symbol. It often selects a time step, component, category, or member of a sequence.
