| Both models are equipped with a real
RISC processor (Reduced Instruction Set Chip) not RISC–Style like the Diamond
II/ Sapphire II. This means that the speed of the mircro processors of both
new models is even faster than the Diamond II/ Sapphire II, which in turn
increases the strength of both chess computer models. |
