Geez, when was that article written? I'd say a "typical" range for MIPS right now is in the 20,000 range, not 100. Check out this list at Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org...
Chips that only do 100 MIPS are from around 1995. Even my iPhone can do around 1,000 MIPS.

Your brain, on the other hand, can understand any number of speakers. It needs no training and will make zero mistakes. It may even be able to understand multiple languages! And the speech processing portion of your brain is just one small part of the whole package -- your brain can also process complex visual images, control your entire body, understand conceptual problems and create new ideas.
CABA (Chinese Artificial Brain Administration) would be a government agency that employs 1000s of scientists and engineers to design and build artificial brains for China's home robot industry (and other applications). Home robots will be one of the world's richest industries in the 2020s.
