This isn't a problem that silicon can fix. FHE requires orders of magnitude more operations to be done, and/or more complex operations, to achieve the same results. GP silicon already runs these operations as fast as possible, it's just that there are too many of them, and they are not even parallelizable.

I was gonna say, but yeah if you can't make it more parallel, then yeah custom silicon definitely would bottleneck on that. TBF I know nothing about this, but I have done a lot of parallelization and speeds up of algos on FPGA that are relatively easy to parallelize and seen tremendous speed ups over general purpose CPUs.
