We are very far from computers in specialized computations and as a matter of fact far even to some animals in particular tasks. What is general intelligence nevertheless? It's an ill defined concept, there are just results for specific benchmarks.
Yes, but there is substantial evidence that humans aren't even close to that limit. Most humans struggle to do even basic probability calculations or reliably remember 30 seconds of sensory input, for example. Either of those are civilisation-changing abilities if everyone could do them.
