SNNs are behind, but not that far behind, especially after recent astrocyte-related advancements, and if implemented correctly in hardware they consume a fraction of power. SNNs don't get nearly the same amount of attention as ordinary networks largely because they lack efficient hardware to run on (just like ordinary NNs until the advent of GPGPU). It's not exactly new hardware though, it's just a cluster of 1152 existing Intel Loihi 2 neuromorphic chips.
