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.

The Apple TV has existed in two different variants alongside each other for some time now. The TV 4K was first launched back in 2017 and sold along with the fourth gen Apple TV HD. However, with the latest TV 4K model launch, the company has finally discontinued the old HD variant.

For those unaware, the Cupertino based giant launched the latest TV 4K model earlier this week. At the same time, the iPhone maker also delisted the TV HD variant, which is no longer sold in the company’s official store. The Apple TV HD model was the fourth generation of the series and was also the first variant that ran on tvOS, which is a standalone operating system that was dedicated to these devices. Furthermore, it was equipped with the A8 chip and had 2GB of RAM.

One of the biggest highlights of this fourth gen Apple TV was also the arrival of the Siri Remote that featured touchpad and motion sensors. It was announced for a starting price tag of 149 US Dollars for the 32GB version. However, the company finally announced the TV 4K, which was the first model that came with 4K resolution and HDR support. It was also powered by the more powerful A10X Fusion chipset. In 2021, this device was refreshed again with the A12 Bionic chip and a redesigned Siri Remote.

Now, the latest model is the Apple TV 4K 2022, which comes with the even more powerful A15 Bionic chipset, which is around 50 percent faster than the A12 chipset. The new Siri Remote also comes with a USB Type C charging port over the Lightning port on the older models. Its starting storage capacity also doubled to 64GB and maxed out at 128GB, with a lowered starting price tag of 129 US Dollars.

For instance, users can say “Hey Siri” while wearing AirPods to search for and control Apple TV hands-free.
