Compared to most home consoles of the fourth generation, the Neo Geo AES was technically superior in many aspects.[4]
Compute[edit | edit source]
The SNK Neo Geo AES is powered by a primary 16 bit Motorola 68000 processor clocked at 12 megahertz, and a secondary 8 bit Zilog Z80-A processor clocked at 4 megahertz.[5][4]
The Neo Geo AES has 64 kilobytes of RAM, 2 kilobytes of sound RAM, and 68 kilobytes of Video RAM.[5][4]
Hardware[edit | edit source]
The Neo Geo uses a custom graphics chipset which can draw 380 simultaneous sprites and three background planes simultaneously.[4]
A Yamaha 2610 chip is used for audio, and is capable of 15 channels of audio.[4]
The Neo Geo CDZ features a somewhat faster CD drive then a standard Neo Geo CD, though specific drive differences are not known.[6][7]
