Here are the specs for the custom HPU chip inside the Microsoft HoloLens
Microsoft has finally revealed the first details of the hardware specs for its custom Holographic Processing Unit (HPU) that's included in the Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality headset.
While Microsoft started shipping the first HoloLens Developer Edition headsets earlier this year, it has kept specifics about its custom HPU to itself. Today, The Register reports that Microsoft finally offered up more info on that chip as part of a panel at the Hot Chips conference in Cupertino, California:
The HoloLens headset also has an Intel Atom processor that runs Windows 10 with 1GB of RAM. The device also has 64GB of onboard storage. Since this is the first generation of Microsoft's HPU, we can likely expect to see even more performance for the next version of the processor. In the meantime, the HoloLens Developer Edition is currently available for $3,000 at the Microsoft Store.
