Google's quantum computer is '100 million times faster than your PC'

I'm going to clarify a couple of things here as i happen to be doing a PhD in quantum computation (i.e. manufacture and quantum gate operations - not programming)
THIS IS NOT A QUANTUM COMPUTER. At best its a quantum ASIC device (i.e. designed to do one task very well) - more likely just an ASIC device. It cannot do any other problem faster than a standard computer and in many cases slower.
The best an actual 'quantum computer' has done is factorise 21 (go us) so you can see we're a long way to go.
If anyone has any other questions I'd be happy to try answer these.
