How much computing power would a quantum computer have compared to a classical one?

The D-Wave One, which was released recently by a Canada based company boasts a 128 qubit processor, how much computing power is this, or how much power would a classical chip have to have to equal it?

    It's not that quantum computers would have more computing power, its that they compute in a different way by using entangled qubits instead of classical bits making the two hard to compare. D-Wave's quantum computer is still a bit iffy, it is not clear if what they are producing is actually a quantum computer or not at this point.
