The tran<i>ZPU</i>ter<sup><i>FusionX</i></sup> is a spinoff concept from the tranZPUter series. It shares the same purpose, to replace the Z80 in a Sharp or similar system and provide it with features such as faster CPU, more memory, better graphics, quicker application loading etc.

To most retro users, the above wont have meaning or interest as it is primarily for software research and development. What the board can offer the end user eventually (project still in development phase) is:

<li>Original host specifications<br>- there might be slight differences in the Z80 functionality as it is implemented in software but the Z80 hardware timing is accurate.</li>
<li>Accelerator<br>- the Z80 can run at much higher speeds due to the abundance of memory and 1.2GHz dual-core processor, which would typically see performance equivalent to a 500MHz Z80.</li>
