>What causes this difference? First of all, the brain is a specialized computer, so to speak, while systems like TaihuLight and TSUBAME3.0 are much more general-purpose machines, capable of tackling a wide variety of problems.
That's why digital computers have so far been so much more successful than analog computers. While analog computers may have the potential to be "better", they'd require massive global hardware and software changes to become the next big thing. People are lazy, and there's no way they'd want to port everything over to a completely different paradigm just for better energy efficiency and speed.
