A Japanese supercomputer with 705,024 processor cores and 1.4 million GB of RAM to process the data, took 40 minutes to process a single second of human brain activity.

Surely most people could get by with a Commodore 64 and the time it takes to mash a cup of tea to do the same? Or does it just appear to be so?
