FLOPS and clock speed are not the same thing. The clock speed of the human brain (possible neuronal firings per second is like 100-1000 Hz). However, the brain is also massively parallel, and FLOPS estimates for the brain vary widely. I’ve seen estimates ranging from 100 teraFLOPS to 100 exaFLOPS. Kurzweil estimates 20 PetaFLOPS, but admits that it could be much higher.
