4.4 System Processor (CPU)
The FIC M295 / M296 runs on Intel Pentium 4 based on
Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (
FC-PGA2)
478-pin packaging. It supports CPU with up to 2.5GHz clock speed rating. The processor
operates in conjunction with the RAM and ROM memory and the system control logic (e.g.
SIS 645DX) to process software instructions (BIOS, Windows, and Applications).
4.4.1 Intel Pentium 4 Features
Using Intel’s advanced 0.13u process technology enables the Pentium 4 processor to further
extend its leadership with larger cache, higher frequency, and lower power. The Intel®
Pentium® 4 processor with 512KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process is designed for high-
performance desktops and entry level workstations. It is binary compatible with previous Intel
Architecture processors. The Pentium 4 processor provides great performance for applications
