The machine is based on a Motorola 68030 CPU @ 16MHz (4 MIPS), a Motorola 56001 digital signal processor @ 32MHz (16 MIPS) and a socket for an optional FPU.
It also includes a new VIDEL graphics chip which greatly improves its graphics capabilities, offering even a up to 768x480 in 16-bit truecolor graphics mode. And like the Amstrad CRTC chip, the characteristics of the display can now be defined precisely.
The sound system consists of four stereo 16-bit DMA playback and record channels.
