In many cases, the exact same set of machine instructions is supported on all members of the family. Thus, a program that executes on one machine will also execute on any other. In some cases, the lower end of the family has an instruction set that is a subset of that of the top end of the family. This means that programs can move up but not down.

The same basic operating system is available for all family members. In some cases, additional features are added to the higher-end members.

The rate of instruction execution increases in going from lower to higher-end members.

In going from lower to higher family members.

In going from lower to higher family members.
