Other declassified documents of the past showed they were years ahead on hardware, too. The NRE costs got so high that commodity hardware got preferable in the general case. That said, they can still throw money at ASIC's, FPGA's, semi-custom versions of Intel/AMD CPU's, maybe same for GPU's, and so on. They have access to better and more hardware than most threat actors.
