Is it true that Bitcoin mining is now done almost entirely on specialized ASIC chips rather than CPUs or GPUs?

Unclear. Several sources describe Bitcoin mining hardware evolving from CPUs and GPUs to specialized ASICs, and one documents large-scale ASIC Bitcoin mining datacenters. None of the placed items quantifies that ASICs now account for almost all Bitcoin mining, so the evidence covers only part of the claim.
