Those are more in the realm of Sufficiently Advanced Technology than anything that could be compared with real technology. Their performance is not usually expressed in real world units - even when it is, it makes no bloody sense - and it usually amounts to "capable of doing whatever the writer wants them to do and utterly incapable of doing anything he doesn't want them to do, even if they damn well should" anyhow.
