How powerful is a human brain in relation to a Computer processor?

Just out of interest, how powerful (i don't know in what way... calculations per second??? idk) is the human brain in comparison to an average computer?

    Well, here is a comparison from around 2000... where the brain was estimated to be roughly equivalent to a 16.8 THz processor (16,800 GHz, or 16,800,000 MHz, based on the assumption of 24,000 times stronger than a 700Mhz processor)

    It depends on whether you're trying to multiply two 20-digit numbers or recognize a picture of your mother.
