Reality Coprocessor

Revision as of 22:29, 11 March 2021 by Bigbass (talk | contribs) (Renamed references to the console's CPU to the term "VR4300", and removed acronyms when first introducing significant terms.)

The Reality Coprocessor, or RCP, is one of the two main processors on the Nintendo 64 board. Split into two components, the Reality Signal Processor and Reality Display Processor, it cooperates with the other main processor, the VR4300 CPU to draw 3D graphics, perform matrix calculations, and produce audio. The RCP is also connected to the onboard RDRAM, providing direct access to memory.
