Actually this chip is not _that_ far off. It has 5 billion transistors so with a process shrink and a board with 10-20 of these chips it should be roughly equivalent to the number of neurons in a human brain. Now think of your home with about 100 of things connected to your network and your house will be pretty darn smart!
You are quite off here. A transistor is simply not as powerful as a neuron. The article itself notes that the chip is capable of simulating "just over one million \"neurons,\"".
