Also, a brain evolved to be a stable compute platform in body that finds itself in many different temperature and energy regimes. And the brain can withstand and recover from some pretty severe damage. So I'd suspect an intelligence that is designed to run in a tighter temp/power envelope with no need for recovery or redundancy could be significantly more efficient than our brain.
