About とは比べものにならない
In order to emphasize that something is far beyond what could possibly be compared to (A), the emphatic phrase とは比べものにはならない will be used.
This is a combination of the case-marking particle と, the adverbial particle は, the neologism 比べもの 'a comparable thing', case-marking particle に, adverbial particle は, and the negated form of the う-Verb なる 'to become', ならない. This may seem like a lot, but it is just expressing that '(A) will not be a comparable thing'.
This structure will be used before nouns, where that noun is the thing that cannot be compared. This is usually due to quality, quantity, or some other feature that is easily measurable.
