Dual PowerPC 750 CPUs
With dual processors, the KGM5 allows you to achieve performance approaching that of two single CPU boards. Yet it costs much less than two boards and takes up just one slot. As the pioneer in dual processor technology, Synergy has optimized the KGM5 to allow the most efficient sharing of resources between two processors. Processor speeds range from 300 MHz to 466 MHz. Synergy will offer higher speeds as processor technology advances.

High-Speed L2 Cache
The 750 processor features the latest L2 cache technology: backside cache. Backside cache connects directly to the processor over its own private high-speed bus rather than the PowerPC memory bus. While the PowerPC memory bus runs at 425 MB/s maximum, the backside cache bus can run anywhere from 853 MB/s to 1920 MB/s (with even faster speeds available soon). Cache speeds depend on the CPU-to-cache speed ratio and the speed of the CPU. The KGM5 provides you with one full megabyte of L2 cache for each processor. The cache's capacity and speed of access allow a substantial reduction in the number of accesses to main memory over the slower PowerPC memory bus, boosting overall performance significantly.

Functions in Both System and Peripheral Slots
The KGM5 comes ready to function in either a system or peripheral slot automatically. Simply plug the KGM5 into the desired slot and it will assume the proper functions.

High speed SDRAM
The KGM5's state of the art SDRAM outperforms traditional EDO DRAM by up to 55%. SDRAM is synchronized with the PowerPC clock, eliminating wait states. The KGM5's circuitry optimizes access to the SDRAM for peak performance.
