CPC801 has the same architecture and key components as CPC800, but with all front panel interfaces available through pin header connectors on a board.

CPC801 is a compact single board computer in EPIC form-factor. The board is based on Intel® Pentium® M processor up to 1.8 GHz and up to 1 GB of DDR SDRAM.

All components including CPU, SDRAM and 32 MB solid-state disk are soldered onboard thus providing superior shock/vibration resistance.

For demanding applications there is a CompactFlash socket for cards of up to 16 GB.

Two Gigabit Ethernet ports make CPC801 an ideal platform for robust redundant systems. Very compact size of CPC801 - 115 × 165 mm - combines full set of PC functions including video and audio
interfaces.

Onboard 32K nonvolatile RAM allows users to save critical data in case power fails. CPC801 also has 64K EEPROM memory for user applications.

One of the board's benefits is a PC/104 connector, which allows EPIC and PC/104 modules work together as an integral system.

The board can withstand shock up to 50g and vibration up to 5g in 3 dimensions with working temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.
