Sega Model 3

Sega Model 3 is an arcade platform released in 1996 as the successor to Sega Model 2. Model 3 continued several arcade games series established on previous Sega arcade boards, with games such as; Daytona USA 2, Sega Rally 2, Virtua Fighter 3 and Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. Upon release, the Model 3 board was significantly more powerful than any other arcade platform on the market as well as any home console or computer at the time, with graphical fidelity roughly to par with Dreamcast or even some early PlayStation 2 titles; it took several years for home systems to catch-up. It had an IBM-Motorola PowerPC 603e CPU that could run at 66, 100 or 166 MHz, 33 MB of RAM and two Lockheed Martin Real3D/Pro-1000 GPUs. Model 3 was followed by Sega Naomi in 1998 which uses a similar architecture to the Sega Dreamcast.
