Networked media devices (NMDs) require a modern 32-bit microprocessor supported by Windows CE. Windows CE supports various microprocessors from the ARM, MIPS, SHx, and x86 families. For more information, see this Microsoft Web site.
The microprocessor must support 32-bit addressing, and because Windows CE implements a virtual memory system, the microprocessor must contain a memory management unit (MMU) to support virtual-memory-to-physical-memory translations.
Because there is no required minimum for microprocessor cycles-per-second, Microsoft recommends offloading audio and video decoding to digital signal processors (DSPs), especially if you have a slower microprocessor. If you do not utilize DSPs, your microprocessor may require more cycles-per-second.
Your microprocessor and DSP configuration must be able to appropriately handle audio and video playback.
