In the short time that Dr. Strange has been in the MCU, the Sorcerer Supreme has already demonstrated that he is one of the most powerful characters in it, especially when it comes to magic. However, that may no longer be the case as of the end of WandaVision

Wanda has always been pretty powerful, as her abilities allow her to manipulate objects, pack a powerful punch, and even fly. Her powers grow substantially in WandaVision, though, as she comes to understand them much better. 

This is due in part to her conversations with the antagonist Agatha Harkness, a fellow witch who explains the Chaos Magic they both wield. At one point, Harkness even says that Wanda’s powers will surpass that of the Sorcerer Supreme. 

More than anything, though, we can see that the influence of the Darkhold is what is going to increase her powers exponentially. The book holds the power and knowledge of Chaos Magic, which means Wanda will know a lot more about how to use it moving forward.
