By maintaining socket 7 compatibility, OEM's can leverage the industry's investment and innovation in the wide variety of inexpensive chipsets, graphics chips and motherboard designs while still achieving the low cost required to address the exploding consumer desktop and notebook markets. This solution allows OEM's to continue to offer differentiated products, instead of being locked into a single configuration of often obsolete peripherals that are dictated by more integrated processor solutions.

Full Windows OS and Applications compatibility, along with a full variety of host system component and motherboard compatibility will be tested by Rise, Microsoft Corporation, XXCAL Testing Labs, and by many of Rise's industry partners and collaborators.

Industry standard compability - The mP6 processor is instruction and pin compatible to the Intel Pentium implementation of System Management Mode (SMM), Stop Grant State, Auto Halt Powerdown State, and Stop Clock State. It is also compliant to the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification.

Innovative power managment design - Rise has developed and implemented a number of techniques in the mP6 processor to judiciously enable and disable various circuitries throughout the processor depending on the application running. This dramatically reduces power requirements in the mP6 processor over competition.
