Earlier this month, Apple had launched its latest generation of Apple TV 4K in the market. This new model arrived with the A15 Bionic chipset, however, a new report has revealed that this is actually a binned version.
According to a FlatpanelsHD report, details obtained from the TV Info app for tvOS has revealed that the new Apple TV 4K features a binned version of the A15 Bionic chip. It adds that one CPU core of this processor is also disabled. In other words, the Cupertino based giant’s third generation TV 4K is powered by a 5 core CPU. For those unaware, this is the same chipset that can also be found in the iPhone 13 series and some iPhone 14 models.
However, the variant found on the iPhone models is a six core CPU. Although it has a binned chip, the latest Apple TV model is still able to offer a roughly 40 percent improvement in performance. Despite a fanless design as well, it still doesn’t throttle as much as the previous generation TV 4K, which has the A12 Bionic chipset. Interestingly enough, the new TV 4K was also found to be much faster than the last gen gaming consoles like the Xbox One.
Furthermore, the report also talked about how it is possible that the binned A15 chip on the new TV 4K model might feature a 4 core GPU as well. This is again one core less than the 5 core GPU found in the Apple iPhone 13 series. Despite this, the new A15 Bionic offers 30 percent faster GPU performance on the latest TV 4K model over the previous generation version.
