I think the point is that the more powerful hardware would make the
AI implemented on that hardware more powerful not that it would make
the AI research team proportionally more productive. Human
productivity is limited by the speed of human minds plus useful tools
well geared (more or less) to those minds. The tools can get better
with better hardware but the limit is still the limit of the human
mind.
