Not sure what you are smoking, but the human brain is nowhere close to optimal. Just changing substrate would allow many orders of magnitude improvement. Biological brains depend on diffusion gradients, active transport pumps, and relatively large physical systems, and have to be incredibly redundant and robust to extreme noise. Also the vast majority of the brain isn't dedicated to intelligence.
Probably 10 order of magnitude improvements are available overall at a minimum.
