3.2.14 CPU Setting
The AR-B1579 accepts many types of 586 microprocessors such as Intel Pentium, AMD K5 & AMD K6, and Cyrix
6X86. 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 486 processor,
depending on the clock speeds used and specific application. Like the 486 processor, the 586 processor includes
both segment-based and page-based memory protection schemes. Instruction of processing time is reduced by
on-chip instruction pipelining. By performing quickly, on-chip memory management and caching, the 586
processor relaxes requirements for memory response for a given level of system performance.
