And in many areas (math, logic, games, search, etc) computers think much BETTER than humans - their results are MORE ACCURATE.

(Not to say, in many cases thay obtain it faster than human brain.)

Yet computers are still far less complex than brain. So, they will be much better (and way faster) thinkers than brain when they get similar to brain complexity.
