Do you think dedicated hardware for running local LLMs will become affordable anytime soon?

Models like qwen 27b dense have already proved to be useful coding/general purpose assistants, but issue is still with hardware even the entry level hardware is relatively expensive, would we be getting hardware specifically built for inference for consumers at affordable price and what would be the approximate timeline,

what about Chinese manufacturers they are good producing low cost hardware at scale, I know they are facing issues regarding chip fabrication and memory along with low level software issues but the market they can capture is huge, so what's your opinion on this?
