It sort of depends on how that "AGI" was designed on the first place. If is anthropomorphic, or even neuromorphic, then yes, there will be a hard take-off. Simply because brain is a ridiculous kludge, so the is a lot of slack to be picked up. Which it will, because human ADD problem is technically very easy. As for "hardware", your scenario is not very imaginative. GI will simply convince / convert people who control server farms & semi fabs. That's all it will need from modern economy.
