I don't think defining a microcontroller kit as a PC is an accurate description.
Some ARM CPUs that are advertised as microcontrollers have 32 bit address spaces and roughly the same power as an i486.
A CPU on its own cannot be a microcontroller alone via its definition; as a microcontroller contains a CPU and other needed components to drive it.
No microcontroller is going to beat a computer with a modern microprocessor on complex computing though. But it's good to know tech is still improving on all sides.
