a system with more compute power will be more capable than one with less (assuming they can get the requisite power supply). Similarly systems that have algorithms with better run time complexities will be more capable.
Is sheer computing power really the issue here? General intelligence isn’t going to spontaneously emerge just because you built a really big supercomputer running a really efficient word processor.
