An equal but faster/more numerable intelligence will still mop the floor with you. If you pit organization A with Y number of engineers vs. organization B with 100Y engineers (who also think 100x faster and never need sleep) who do you think will win? Even a 0.3x strength intelligence might beat you. Maybe it can't invent nukes but if it brute forces it's way to inventing steel weapons while you're still working on agriculture, you still lose.
