>>…Compare to a typical microprocessor.  We have about a billion transistors (processor gurus, is this number approximately up to date?) so about a quarter of a billion gates, operating at about 4 billion Hz.  If they all switched every cycle that would be about 1E18 “firings” (ignore for the moment the term may or may not be applicable.)  If I go into task manager, I see that about 1% of the CPU is busy as a rough estimate.  So perhaps 1E16, or I would be OK with your 4E15, give back another factor of 2.

Indeed he does.  Kurzweil is indistinguishable from god.  Thanks for the reminder Kelly.
