It's not the same thing. If I define a function that always returns 1 then the Shannon entropy is extremely low regardless if the Boltzmann entropy of running it on a CPU is high. That the two measures can be different shows they cannot be the same thing. Related in concept, different in definition. In fact, you can even use the same formulas for calculating it - what differs is what your calculating it on.
