A consequence of the brain being near optimal for energy of computation for intelligence given its structure is that it is also near optimal in terms of intelligence per switching events.

So the brain computes with just 10^14 switching events per second.

What do you mean by, given its structure? Does this still leave open that a brain with some differences in organization could get more intelligence out of the same number of switching events per second?

Similarly, I assume the same argument applies to all animal brains. Do you happen to have stats on the number of switching events per second for e.g. the chimpanzee?
