Not necessarily. If a human brain with no software tricks requires 10^20 CPS (a very high estimate), then (according to Kurzweil, take with grain of salt) the computational capacity will be there by ~2040. However, it’s certainly possible that we don’t get the software until 2050, at which point anyone with a couple hundred dollars can run one.
