Why expect specialized hardware to be a bottleneck? Most software programs don't require very specialized hardware.
If computation per dollar continues on trend to far surpass minima for brain emulation, then I would expect final bottlenecks to be in brain-scanning or (more likely) understanding the neuroscience, not shaving cycles off the computation of Hodgkin-Huxley.
I'm pretty sure it was the brain-scanning that evand had in mind when referring to "specialized hardware".
Exactly.
