  ARM710
  
     <processor> 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.
