Yeah. All you need is an intelligence that's human level but faster, and you have something that is, to some extent, superhuman. If you can get to human intelligence levels you can just crank up the clock speed a bit and give it a better working memory, and now you have something like a super-Einstein in a box.

It could be that there's no way to do that in silica without outstripping plausible bounds on hardware size or power use, I don't know...

But Einstein was no ordinary human, he was a genius. So you would need the AGI to be more than just your average human. Would the average Joe sped up be some form of superintelligence? They would be able to perform tasks faster, but that doesn't make them smarter.
