It is 35 times faster than the processor in the PS2. 10 times the power of a standard PC and twice the processing power of Microsoft\u2019s new Xbox360. This technology allows for super computer like performance, moving quality images and the degree of realism that is simply amazing in a home gaming device. It\u2019s been said in the press that no other chip in the world can touch it. We are confident that this is true.\u201d
