I think this is a fairly well understood hardware problem if you are comparing special purpose hardware to general purpose hardware. Intel etc just have way more resources for making improvements in the long run. What you can do is use a tight mix of software and hardware to get the best out of both without blocking future hardware improvements or for that matter software improvements. It's not a hardware or software thing, but a hardware/software mix traded at different levels for performance/flexibility. Working out what the mix should be is the hard part.
