Is there evidence of correlation between the size of working memory and brilliance/genius? Or is a universal human mind limit?

Although, for any even moderately complex problem, abstractions or chunks of some kind are necessary, so proficiency in recognising, using and creating them is more important than holding one or two more, being able to hold more like help - especially in managing them. Perhaps help a lot, and the development of some abstractions may actually be impossible without greater working memory.
