Augmented reality helmets (XR) requires a lot of processing power to process the heavy content consumed by users, as well as to control the various sensors and cameras of the device with minimal latency. That’s why apple announced that Vision Pro there will be a new SoC R1who will be responsible for processing data from sensors and who, according to information from korean messengerwill have special RAM designed to work with reduced latency.

Vision Pro with faster RAM

It is worth noting that the new Apple chipset will work in conjunction with M2, but with this chip in charge of the operating system and other tasks such as gaming and content playback. ABOUT R1 will fulfill control of 12 cameras, of five sensors and six microphones device, and will also need to perform user head tracking, eye tracking, 3D environment mapping, and hand control tracking.

Since most of these tasks require instant processing, Apple will equip the new SoC Vision Pro with new custom module AMD from SC Hynix. This new feature is designed to be ultra-low latency and faster than conventional DRAM modules and can even double the processing speed.

According to the source korean messenger, RAM supplier Apple has been able to produce such fast chips by “eight times the number of input and output pins”. This component, called “Low Latency Wide I/O”, should only be provided SC Hynix.

Another important point shared by the portal is that these new AMD allegedly produced according to a special technique that allows be embedded in SoC R1.

The product was unveiled by Apple during WWDC, causing controversy at a price of US$3,500.

Despite the discovery Vision Pro during WWDC23, apple will release its new augmented reality headset only in 2024. Although it has attracted a lot of attention and has become quite popular, the company’s glasses suffer from production problems, and because of this, the device’s sales forecast is lowered.
