We don't have any way of measuring IQs much over 150 because of the problem of the tested knowing more than the tester. So when we talk about the intelligence of the universe, we can only really measure it's computing power, which we generally correlate with prediction power as a measure of intelligence.
Seth Lloyd estimated that the universe has enough mass (10^53 kg) which if converted to energy (10^70 J) to support 10^120 qubit flips over the 13.8 billion years since the big bang. Additionally he estimated that by encoding bits by the positions and velocities of the universe's 10^80 particles within the limits of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle gives about 10^90 bits of storage. I independently derived similar numbers. The Bekenstein bound of the Hubble radius limits the entropy of the observable universe to 2.95 x 10^122 bits. But most of that is unusable heat. The Landauer limit of the universe at the CMB temperature of 3 K allows about 10^92 bits to be written before the heat death of the universe.
