3.2.14 CPU Setting

The AR-B1462 accepts many types of microprocessors such as Intel/AMD/Cyrix 486DX/DX2/DX4. All of these
CPUs include an integer processing unit, floating-point processing unit, memory-management unit, and cache.
They can give a two to ten-fold performance improvement in speed over the 386 processor, depending on the
clock speeds used and specific application. Like the 386 processor, the 486 processor includes both segment-
based and page-based memory protection schemes. The instruction of processing time is reduced by on-chip
instruction pipelining. By performing fast, on-chip memory management and caching, the 486 processor relaxes
requirements for memory response for a given level of system performance.
