(Apple)TV Good To Go!
This post was published 2 years 7 months 28 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.AppleInsider is reporting that all the last minute graphic goofups with the (Apple)TV have been figured out and Apple has begun to ramp up manufacturing as early as today.
They quoted that NVIDIA was the source of the last month’s delay with what were explained were “quirky embedded video issues.”
Apple TV will drawn its graphics capabilities from NVIDIA’s G72M graphics chipset with 64MB DDR2 video memory — essentially the firm’s GeForce Go 7400 chip.
At the heart of Apple TV device is a 1.0GHz Pentium M-based Intel chip with 2MB of L2 cache (code-named “Crofton”), which will be under-clocked to run on a 350MHz bus. The device will also pack 256MB of non-upgradable 400MHz DDR2 main system memory, a 40GB 2.5-inch PATA hard disk drive, and a 802.11n capable wireless card.
Could this mean the wait is over?
so why is the memory limited to 256mb??? wouldnt larger files require higher memory?
40GB HD? isnt that too small in todays world? PATA?
why is everything sooo limited? GRR
ill be streaming 90% of my content if not more from a USB drive connected to an 802.11n Airport Extreme and i would think most would stream anyways so HDD size isnt all that big of a concern. even DVCPro HD is 100mb per second, 256mb of ram seems like more than enough when combined with the video processor for displaying HD video. Especially considering next gen video game systems have like 512 mb of ram.
Yeah cause it’s not like Apple would make you OVER pay for hardware specs right?
–Apple hardware pricing slammed again..do you accept? *Vista Security*
Why is the processor under-clocked to almost 33% of it’s main power? o-0
