A centrifugal supercharger will make roughly the same power as a turbo in theory, but because it's driven off the crank some of that power is lost. Exactly how much is due to mechanical losses and how much is due to the supercharger itself is kinda academic though; the amount of power available at the flywheel is what counts!
Most supercharged setups are roots type though, and these will definitely make less power even if there weren't any mechanical losses; this is because they are a less efficient design which means they heat up the air a lot more (especially at high rpm). Their mechanical losses are also a lot higher than centrifugal blowers, but their main advantage is they can make boost from idle.
