ARM710
     
         A 32-bit {RISC} {microprocessor} based on the
        {ARM7} processor core designed by {Advanced RISC Machines}
        Ltd.  The A710 is the successor to the {ARM610} processor.  It
        was released in July 1994 by {VLSI Technology Inc}.
     
        The ARM710 can run at 40MHz (fastest sample 55MHz) dissipating
        500mW with a 5V supply or 25MHz with 3.3V supply.  It has an 8
        kilobyte on-chip {cache}, {memory management unit} and {write
        buffer}.
     
        The ARM700 and ARM710 processors represent a significant
        improvement over the {ARM610} processors.  They have a higher
        maximum clock speed and a number of architectural improvements
        such as double the size of internal cache, this means that
        more of any process can be executed internally without
        accessing the (relatively) slow external memory.  Other
        improvements are an improved {write buffer} and an enlarged
        {Translation Lookaside Buffer} in the {MMU}.  All of these
        improvements increase the performance of the system and
        deliver more real performance than a simple comparison of
        clock speeds would indicate.
     
        The ARM710 has been optimised for integer performance.  The
        FPA11 {floating point} {coprocessor} has a peak throughput of
        up to 5 {MFLOPS} and achieves an average throughput in excess
        of 3 MFLOPS for a range of calculations.
