Re: I don’t think anyone really knows the general requirements for AGI, and therefore nobody knows what (if any) kind of specialized hardware is necessary.
One thing which we might need—and don’t yet really have—is parallelism.
True, there are FPGAs, but these are still a nightmare to use. Elsewhere parallelism is absurdly coarse-grained.

We probably won’t need anything very fancy on the hardware front—just more speed and less cost, to make the results performance- and cost-competitive with humans.
