Agreed. It's architecture that matters, although for a given brain architecture (e.g. species) there might be benefits to scale. mega-brain vs pea-brain.

I was just pointing out that a crow's brain is built on a more advanced process node than our own. Smaller transistors.

That makes sense. Birds are very weight-limited, so there's evolutionary pressure to keep the mass of the control system down.
