;Processor
* 32-bit RISC CPU @ 12.5&nbsp;MHz ([[List of ARM processors|ARM60]]){{snd}} using VY86C060-20FC / VY86C06020FC-2 (native stock speed of 20FC chips is @ 20&nbsp;MHz.)

;Display
* Resolution 640×480 (interpolated), 320×240 (actual) 60&nbsp;Hz for NTSC version, and 768×576 (interpolated), 384×288 (actual) 50&nbsp;Hz for PAL version with either 16-bit palettized color (from 24-bit) or 24-bit [[24-bit color|truecolor]].
* Dual pixel engine (CEL engine) capable of producing 9–16 million [[pixel]]s per second (36–64 megapix/s interpolated), distorted, scaled, rotated and texture mapped.
* Custom [[Coprocessor|math co-processor]] (physically located inside MADAM)

;System board
* 200&nbsp;MByte/s (50 million words a second) Bus clocked at 50&nbsp;MHz
* 36 [[Direct memory access|DMA]] channels
* 2&nbsp;MB of main RAM<ref name="NGen12"/>
* 1&nbsp;MB of [[VRAM]]<ref name="NGen12"/>
* 2 expansion ports
* 32&nbsp;KB [[Static random-access memory|SRAM]]
