Google, D-Wave, and the case of the factor-10^8 speedup

Is there a specific reason a quantum computer would be better at simulating a human brain than a classical computer?

Well, to simulate the chemistry in the brain, would, I think, involve simulating some quantum mechanical things, which a quantum computer might be better equipped to simulate?

Is the argument that I've heard.

I don't know how that works when the qubits are being used to deal with other sorts of variables than bits though?
