Yes

I don't think current computers are faster than a human brain when it comes to adhoc general intelligence.

But where they win is their networking capability to spread to work to a million nodes if needed and then they have the power to use every piece of data and knowledge available, human brains can barely retain 5% of all that.

So computer maybe slower by 2-6 seconds, but they will be the expert in every damn thing, making human experts redundant.

My hunch is our current hardware is slower than our biological hardware hence computer can be never be able to match the speed of logical processing that human brain can do.

The fastest synaptic transmission takes about 1 millisecond. Thus both in terms of spikes and synaptic transmission, the brain can perform at most about a thousand basic operations per second, or 10 million times slower than our current hardware.
