What is the frequency of the Hitachi SH3 processor?
A. The processor operates at 40 MHz internally. Its operating frequency range is from 8 MHz to 60 MHz depending on the clock input used. In general, higher frequencies mean lower battery life so a balance must be struck between speed (performance) and battery life. The 40 MHz processor frequency delivers approximately 40 MIPS performance with around 400 mW of power dissipation.
