  Somewhat. But as far as I know most password cracking rigs these days use tons and tons of GPUs for hashed password brute forcing. I'm not sure what the limit is as to how many GPUs you can use simultaneously, but they sort of sidestep this hardware progress issue by just distributing the guesses.
