Scientists:

"its highly plausible that the raw computing power per dollar that the PS3 offers, is significantly higher than anything else on the market today!"

"Conclusions

* It's not that complicated.

*Lots of opportunities for optimization."

Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
