    "software is adaptable - and typically kills off specialized hardware gains within 1 year on generic silicon"

    What is your basis for that statement? If you really meant that what I think you meant, which is, software developers can implement an arbitrary algorithm in software that will be run on a generic CPU that will run as fast as the same algorithm implemented in hardware you obviously don't know what your talking about. If you would like explanation of why this is true then I will provide, but I suspect you not interested anyway.
