Processor Board
Processor/Chip Set
The terminal uses an Intel architecture processor, which permits it to
leverage existing software drivers and applications, as well as provide
the greatest flexibility in choosing an operating system. This provides
several other advantages:
• Capable of SW MPEG-1 playback at 30 frames per second with 22
KHz stereo audio (may be limited by OS constraints)
• Sound Blaster-compatible audio capability
• Java Benchmark performance > 1000 Caffeinemarks, JIT compiled
• OS support to run Java
• Expansion capabilities for optional features and future
requirements (ISA/PCI bus and USB)
The following sections identify processors, system bus speed, and on-
board memory available on 7454 Release 2.x processor boards:
Release 2.0/2.1
• Intel 600 MHz µPGA2 Celeron Processor and 440BX chipset
consisting of the 82443BX (North Bridge) System Controller, also
called the MTXC, and the 82371EB (South Bridge) PCI ISA
accelerator, also called the PIIX4E.
• 100MHz system bus
• 32 MB memory with ability to add SODIMMS to increase the
memory capacity of the terminal
Release 2.2
• Intel 700 MHz Celeron Processor (BGA) on board, removing the
µPGA2 processor socket. Intel 440BX PC chipset same as in Release
2.0/2.1
