[Dune] How does a Mentat's mind work and how can it be compared to a supercomputer?

I know that they don't just calculate or store data. They also have a human's/a sapient being's capacity to plan and form hypotheses. I'm asking about how much information can they store and process, and how much information and stimuli can they gather as they go on with their lives?

Mentsts are "human computers", so it helps to think of them in those terms. They have the same basic function as standard humans, but with more memory and a much faster processor. This enables them to do highly complex calculations with incredible speed. When they ingest the Juice of Sappho (which is basically super-Aderral), it is like over-clocking an already powerful computer.
