* Processor: [[Motorola 68030]] at {{nowrap|16 MHz}} with [[Memory management unit|MMU]] and 256-byte instruction and data caches
* FPU: optional [[Motorola 68881]] or [[Motorola 68882|68882]], [[Plastic leaded chip carrier|PLCC]] socket
* DSP: [[Motorola 56000|Motorola 56001]] [[Digital signal processor|DSP]] chip at {{nowrap|32 MHz}} (16 [[Instructions per second|MIPS]])
* Graphics: "VIDEL" fully programmable video controller<ref name=":0" />
** Palette of 262,144 possible [[Color depth#18-bit|colors]] (18-bit), 256 new color registers
** Bit-plane modes of 2, 4, 16 or 256 colors (1-, 2-, 4- or 8-bit)
** [[Packed pixel|Chunky]] 16-bit [[Color depth|truecolor]] mode
** RGB output can feed either {{nowrap|15 kHz}} RGB monitor or TV, old Atari SM124 monitor or a [[Video Graphics Array|VGA monitor]]
** Despite the capabilities of the Videl, the plain TOS allows the user the choice of only a few resolutions up to 640×480 (or even less in the case of 16-bit mode and VGA). In order to achieve the full potential of the Videl, one has to use one of the numerous existing alternative utilities, such as "Videlity", "Videl Inside", "Blow UP", etc.
** [[BLiTTER]] graphics co-processor at {{nowrap|16 MHz}} (mainly for backward compatibility with STE)
** Backwards compatible with all ST resolutions
* Character set: [[Atari ST character set]], based on [[code page 437]]
* Audio:
** 16-bit audio input and output up to {{nowrap|50 kHz}} – 8 stereo channels
** SDMA sound/[[Direct memory access|DMA]] co-processor
** [[General Instrument AY-3-8910|Yamaha Y3439-F]] 3-channel [[Programmable sound generator|PSG]] (for backward compatibility with ST)
* Memory: 1, 4, or 14 [[Megabyte|MB]] of RAM with 512 KB ROM
* Bus speed: {{nowrap|16 MHz}}, bus width: 16 bits
* Drives and I/O:
** {{nowrap|2.5 inch}} IDE hard disk – internal
** 1.44 MB {{nowrap|3.5 inch}} PC-compatible floppy disk – internal
** External [[SCSI]]-II connector
** [[MIDI]] IN and OUT
** 2× [[serial port]]s
** Bidirectional [[Parallel port|LPT port]]
** DSP port with [[I²S]] buses for external expansions as [[Analog-to-digital converter|ADC]]s/[[Digital-to-analog converter|DAC]]s, [[S/PDIF]] or [[ADAT]] interfaces
** 2× 9-pin mouse/joystick ports
** 2× analog joystick (compatible with STE and Jaguar)
** ROM/Cartridge port used mainly by dongles and some expansion cards
** [[LocalTalk]]-compatible [[Local area network|LAN]] port
