This I found in a magazine article: (I have translated small parts of it into english)
"The human brain works in a completely different way than computers do"
"You can consider each neuron a processor with the frequency of 200 Hz, which means that each neuron can issue 200 commands a second"
"So each neuron is very much slower than an ordinary processor, but then again, a human brain contains approxiamtely 1 000 000 000 000 neuorons, so the total frequency is 20 000 Ghz"
"each neuron is connected in a complex network *blablabla hard to translate part*"
"So the actual frequence can end up several thousand times higher, and can come up to 20 million Ghz"
*later in the article*
"It is not known how the human brain store information. But if you presume that it is stored in a way that is similiar to computers, that, for example, each contact between the neurons can be either 'on' or 'off', a therefore store a piece of information, the human brain can store up to 12 000 GB"
The translation got a little bit bad at some places, but you probably get it anyway
