Those are different levels of "computing." Apples and oranges.

Computers work differently than the human mind. Speed them up as fast as you want, but you still won't have the human mind.

I'll add that extrapolating growth into the future is pretty much always wrong.
Artificial Intelligence has been a chief goal of computer science research for the past 20 years or more. The advances in AI during that time have been small. I have a friend who used to work at a game company. For the higest levels of the game, the computer opponent could "cheat" and make several moves a turn. That was the best approach they had to challenge skilled humans.
