* Main Processor: [[Motorola 68000]] running at 12 [[MHz]]. Although the original CPU was designed by Motorola, many of the 68000 CPUs in Neo Geo hardware are manufactured by second-sources. The most common CPU is the TMP68HC000 manufactured by [[Toshiba]].{{cn|date=March 2023}}
* Coprocessor: Zilog Z80 running at 4&nbsp;MHz
* Colors on screen: 4,096
* Colors available: 65,536
* Resolution: 304 x 224
* Max sprites: 384
* Max sprite size: 16 x 512
* Number of planes: 3 (128 sprites per plane as the Neo Geo does not use tiles for its planes like with most game systems at the time)

The system is also capable of reading [[Red Book (audio CD standard)|Redbook]] standard compact disc audio.

In addition to the multi-AV port (nearly identical to the one used on the [[Sega Genesis]] model 1, though they are not interchangeable), all Neo Geo CD models had composite RCA A/V and S-Video out jacks on the rear of the console.

The CD system's 56 Mbit / 7 [[megabyte|MB]] of RAM<ref name="GPro85"/> was split accordingly:

* 68000 program memory: 2 MB
* Fix layer memory: 128 [[kilobyte|KB]]
* Graphics memory: 4 MB
* Sound sample memory: 1 MB
* Z80 program memory: 64 kB
* VRAM: 512Kb<ref name="GPro69"/> (For graphics attributes)
* SRAM: 2 KB (For high scores / general save data)
