Answer 2

Two answers:
The brain is weaker than a computer, since you, unlike a simple calculator, cannot quickly multiply 764576 and 85934.
The brain is stronger than a computer, since, unlike even the most powerful computer, you can drive on a busy highway at a decent speed, listen and perceive music, think over your dinner, process impressions from the last few hours, come up with (!) arguments for the boss, who is simply obliged to increase your salary and much more at the same time.
The brain is not weaker or stronger than the computer, it is just different. A kilogram is no more and no less than a meter.

Answer 3

"The Japanese supercomputer turned out to be 144 thousand times slower than the human brain" // lenta.ru/news/2014/01/15/neuro
In general, the comparison is rather arbitrary, since the principles of operation are different and the brain has not been studied as well as we would like.

Answer 4

Thank you. For Tianhe-2, it turns out to be 770 times weaker than the brain
