If the human brain was a computer what would its specs be?

[AndroidVageta]

In terms of processing power (ghz?) RAM? Hard drive? VIDEO CARD?!

FAIL. The answer is 42.

100 Hz clock speed. 10000000 cores and multi-threaded like u wouldn't believe.

every human brain works differently, so this thread is stupid. For example, my brain would be a quad quad-core Intel2 Xeon i9u running @ 9.3 Ptz (petahertz) with 9 TB memory running off of 1.21 jigawatts. you on the other hand are a fool running on a 100 Hz AMD knockoff with 36KB memory running off of gerbil in spinning wheel. sorry. i know life is tough for you.

Bill Gate's brain would be Intel, Paris Hilton would be AMD.

 

[Jadow]

So Paris' would cost about 40% as much as Gates but delivered 80-90 percent as much power.

Yeah, the massively parallel, multi threaded stuff makes comparisons to a computer very difficult.

 

[Binarycow]

i dont think it would be a single fast CPU but rather a parallel process of many CPUs. Also, it has and can retain an ungodly size data base that it can reference whenever there is a need.

-40.

.00001hz CPU's in a parallel arrangement of trillions of CPU's.

You good sir are a fucking idiot. You say you are better than I am yes cant even type correctly and use correct punctuation? LOL! I actually just laughed out loud once I realized that you really are a prick.

Anyways, thanks for all the other useless posts...dont understand why its so hard for people just to answer a question...ATOT...sigh...you have failed me again...

CPUs are faster but the brain is MUCH MORE EFFICIENT. The big key is that a human can always beat a computer in calculation speed by just unplugging the PC.

I honestly think many of the posts are spot on. What exactly are you expecting? Equating the human brain to CPU/RAM/video card is with any remote degree of accuracy is absolutely absurd.

 

[JMapleton]

Not the same thing. Computers calculate, the human brain articulates.

 

[lxskllr]

The hard drive is the weak part of a human computer. It has tons of storage, but the data integrity isn't so great.

 

[MovingTarget]

I would be more concerned with the operating system than the specs...

LMFAO!!! Exactly what I thought...

It doesn't make sense to even compare. The performance specs we use for transistor based computers don't make sense for biological computers like our brain.

My brainpower is the equivalent of 42 networked Pleiades supercomputers.

The Pleiades supercomputer is an SGI Altix ICE system with 12,800 Intel Xeon quad-core processors (51,200 cores, 100 racks) running at 487 teraflops on the LINPACK benchmark. Pleiades also features the world's largest InfiniBand interconnect network. The LINPACK run also measured electrical power consumption - Using a total of 2.09 megawatts, or 233 megaflops per watt.
