The Vision Pro is now available for pre-order and will begin shipping in two weeks. As such, Apple has updated the device’s web page with a complete rundown of its system specs. Underneath the lenses driving the new spatial computing experience lies the chip that powers the MacBook Air and iPad Pro.
Like the tablet and laptop processors, the Vision Pro’s M2 SoC features an 8-core CPU (four performance and four efficiency cores), a 10-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. However, the new R1 co-processor that Apple designed to handle audio and video input increases the device’s memory bandwidth to 256GB/s, roughly two and a half times that of the MacBook Air and iPad Pro and close to the 300GB/s found in the top-end MacBook Pro’s M3 Max.
