Although the number of neuronal connections in the human brain is very significant (around 100 trillions<ref>{{Cite web |last=Caruso |first=Catherine |date=January 19, 2023 |title=A New Field of Neuroscience Aims to Map Connections in the Brain |url=https://hms.harvard.edu/news/new-field-neuroscience-aims-map-connections-brain |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=Harvard medical school}}</ref>), the frequency of activation of biological neurons is limited to around 200&nbsp;Hz, whereas electronic hardware can easily operate at multiple GHz. With sufficient hardware parallelism, a simulated brain could thus in theory be made to run faster than a biological brain. Uploaded beings may therefore not only be more efficient, but also supposedly have a faster rate of [[subjective experience]] than biological brains (e.g. experiencing an hour of lifetime in a single second of real time).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bostrom |first=Nick |title=Superintelligence: paths, dangers, strategies |date=2017 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-967811-2 |edition= |location= |chapter=Speed superintelligence}}</ref>
