The bottom line is that "the beast" supercomputer IBM just created is barely scratching the surface on biological equivalent computing power. The supercomputers however cause quite a bit of excitement for researchers in molecular biology because of their power to simulate things they haven't yet been able to simulate.
Do you want me to find a cite for that too?
My assertion — not contradicted by any of your sources — is that brains cannot be compared to digital computers. It may be possible to build a computer that models brain activity, but it hasn’t been done yet.
My best sources tell me that the theory is in place, but the hardware is not, and it isn’t a matter of speed.
Neurons operate at something like 10 to 100 Hz. That’s firings per second. Whatever they are doing, it isn’t matched by the switching of a transistor.
Super computing power is nowhere near intelligence anyway. All it can do is what it's programmed to do. It's essentially just a glorified calculator.
