It boasted an Intel 68000 processor running at 12 MHz and a 16-bit Motorola 68000 CPU running at 10 MHz, making it one of the most powerful consoles of its time and its dual processors allowed for fast and smooth gameplay, as well as efficient memory management.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: left\">In comparison with its competitors like the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgamemedium.com\u002Fconsole\u002Fplaystation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">PlayStation\u003C\u002Fa> and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgamemedium.com\u002Fconsole\u002Fsega-saturn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">Sega Saturn\u003C\u002Fa>, the system had 7 MB of RAM, which was more than enough for the games of the time. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: left\">This console had a video output resolution of 320x224 pixels and was capable of displaying 4096 colors on the screen at the same time.
