An information processing apparatus including a Global Positioning System
(GPS) receiver for receiving a radio wave from a GPS satellite and a
Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) type microprocessor for processing
signals corresponding to the radio wave received by the GPS receiver. The
GPS receiver and RISC type microprocessor are incorporated into a single
integrated circuit chip, and the RISC type microprocessor is provided with
a bypass circuit which facilitates the execution of conditional branch
instructions.
