These QuickPanel processors are based on the Allen-Bradley ARM Cortex A8 series. They also come with graphics processing units that support both 2D and 3D images. They use 32 KB Level 1 instruction/data caches for faster processing. Also, an additional 256 KB of Level 2 unified instruction and data cache memory is available in the quick panel series. Both NEON SIMD Media accelerators and the vector floating-point coprocessors are present in these terminals. The maximum power consumption of this series of panels is 30 Watts with normal use.

For networking, the  QuickPanel display panels are equipped with Ethernet ports with a 1 x 10/100 Base T port which is an RJ-45 port.
