I think most people didn't really understand the meaning of your comment. They seem to all equate intelligence and processing speed.
I think it's legitimately an interesting question. As in, it could be something like Turing completeness. All Turing complete languages are capable of computing the same things, some are just faster. Maybe there's nothing beyond our level of understanding, just a more accelerated and accurate version of it. An AI will think on the same level as us, just faster. In that case, in that hypothetical, an AI 100x faster than a person is not much better than 100 people. It won't forget things (that's an assumption, actually), it's neuron firing or equivalent would be faster, but maybe it won't really be capable of anything fundamentally different than people.
This is not the same as the difference between chimps and humans. We are fundamentally on another level. A chimp, or even a million chimps, can never accomplish what a person can. They will not discover abstract math, write a book, speak a language.
Mind you, I suspect this is not the case. I suspect that a super intelligent AI will be able to think of things we can never hope to accomplish.
But it is an interesting question that I think is worth thinking about, rather than inanely down voting the idea.
