Unless you're referencing an unreleased model that can count the number of 'r' occurrences in "strawberry" then I don't even think we're dealing with .01*10^x intelligence right now. Maybe not even .001e depending on how bad of a Chomsky apologist you are.
An equal but faster/more numerable intelligence will still mop the floor with you.
If you pit organization A with Y number of engineers vs. organization B with 100Y engineers (who also think 100x faster and never need sleep) who do you think will win?
Even a 0.3x strength intelligence might beat you. Maybe it can't invent nukes but if it brute forces it's way to inventing steel weapons while you're still working on agriculture, you still lose.
