Sega Model 3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sega Model 3 is an arcade system board released by Sega in 1996. It was the final culmination of Sega's partnership with Lockheed Martin, using the company's Real3D division to design the graphical hardware. Upon release, the Model 3 was easily the most powerful arcade system board in existence, capable of over one million polygons per second. The hardware went through several "steppings," which increased the clock speed of the CPU, as well as minor changes to the board architecture.
Well known Model 3 games include Virtua Fighter 3 (1996) and Sega Rally 2 (1998).
