A human could not support the power requirements of a traditional CPU (or even a GPU), for more than a few minutes -- even if most of their innards were replaced with batteries.

The human brain is unique in its pattern recognition and problem solving ability.

good thing I've always claimed to be a Zorkian then.

Cool.

Please consider this idea "Open Source". And it's really easy to build a faraday cage. Take some chicken wire, and wrap it around. Then ground it.

Done.

A computer, including its power supply, of the computational power of a traditional system of 1982 can now be fitted into a swallowable pill. A modern machine drawing 1W or less has the computational ability exceeding that of a large-scale mini of 30 years ago which sucked several kilowatts and weighed a significant fraction of a tonne. I was using such machines back in the day --- VAX-11/780s for instance. The well-known Pi and similar machines exceed the VAX's capabilities many fold.

Fine.

Given a finite amount of energy (let's say 1KW), how many cycles can they execute before they die?

this computer has 22 watt consumption apparently, though not at top speed, at this amount if it was at top speed it could get (1000 watt/kilowatt)/22 watt) = about 45 seconds and at 1.66 Ghz it could get about 75 Ghz seconds done.

edit: but it also only has 1 Gb ram to work with apparently

Sigh...

Have you thought about heat dissipation?

not really, I'm not that advanced, I'm just giving a maximum to the best of my ability.

Medical robots (i.e. a computer, mechanical assembly and battery the size of a horse pill, used quite often for gastric surgery and reportedly driving the development of high-capacity miniature batteries) are a fascinating subject; I have to admit I don't want to contemplate the possibilities for IO though. Seems like a lot of effort to cheat at chess.
