Moores law is only about number of transistors per unit area. It's been misused as a doubling of "power" every 1.5 years.

My mouse is 100x better than the one I had 5 years ago. nah nah.

I wonder if that kind of power will help, will we even be able to notice that kind of power?

100x faster is pretty hard to believe for such a short time span. Maybe the graphics chip is 100x faster, since it's so poor ass on the PS2.

LMAO Goosemaster :D

OracleMan, from what I read, it will be approx 15x more powerful than the current PS2, the working prototype was a big black box w/ 15 PS2 processors running together.

edit: Here's a nice "speculation" resource on the PS3 PS3 Resource Centre

It is supposed to take advantage of distributed processing to make it ultra powerful. Not sure if it'll work out, but i'll still buy it cause i love a lot of the games.

*looks at watch and wait for 2005*

He will be thinner, he's recently under gone gastric bypass surgery. It won't be by 100x though, as that would put his weigh under 50lbs.;)
