Apple’s highly anticipated mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro, is set to hit the market on February 2, 2023. This groundbreaking device will be powered by Apple’s M2 chip, which boasts an impressive ten GPU cores and eight CPU cores.
The M2 chip, which is also used in Apple’s higher-end MacBook Air models, is built on cutting-edge 5-nanometer technology. It represents a significant improvement over its predecessor, the M1 chip, as it supports eight or ten GPU cores.
The Vision Pro’s M2 chip plays a crucial role in its performance, handling tasks such as processing content, running the visionOS operating system, executing computer vision algorithms, and providing stunning graphical content. This enables users to enjoy a truly immersive experience.
To further enhance the device’s capabilities, Apple has developed a custom-built R1 chip that offloads the processing of information from the headset’s cameras, sensors, and microphones. This innovative approach ensures a “virtually lag-free” view of the world.
The entry-level version of the Vision Pro comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, although larger storage capacities will be available. This allows users to store and access content seamlessly.
Apple also announced that customers will have the option to purchase the Vision Pro using Apple Card installments. This flexible payment plan enables users to make monthly payments with no interest, making the cutting-edge technology more accessible.
Excitement is building for the Vision Pro, with pre-orders set to open on January 19, 2023, in the United States. This highly anticipated mixed reality headset is expected to revolutionize the way we experience digital content and further cement Apple’s position as an industry leader in technology innovation.
