Specs Microsoft HoloLens Devkit Appears Online - Runs on Intel Atom

Specs Microsoft HoloLens Devkit Appears Online - Runs on Intel Atom

The devkit specs of the Microsoft HoloLens have surfaced on-line. The headset uses a 32-bit version of Windows 10 with an Intel Atom processor from the Braswell generation and 2 GB of ram.

The guys over at Windows Central decided to run Aida mobile on the devkit sample they received. The custom Windows 10 version is paired with a Atom x5-Z8100-cpu at 1.04 GHz. Intersting to see is that the OS uses 32-bit and not 64-bit. The kit has 2GB of memory of which 114MB is used for the holo-lens graphics unit, 980MB for the system and 900MB for the Hololens apps.

There's also a 64GB flash storage unit and a 16.500mWh-accu that would last roughly 2 hours. many may wonder what exactly is inside the $3,000 computer, so we decided to load up AIDA64 Mobile to see what we can find.

OS Windows 10.0.11802.1033
32-bit
CPU Intel Atom x5-Z8100
1.04 GHz
Intel Airmont (14nm)
4 Logical Processors
64-bit capable
GPU/HPU HoloLens Graphics
GPU Vendor ID 8086h (Intel)
Dedicated Video Memory 114 MB
Shared System Memory 980 MB
RAM 2GB
Storage 64GB (54.09 GB available)
App Memory Usage Limit 900 MB
Battery 16,500 mWh
Camera Photos 2.4 MP (2048x1152)
Camera Video 1.1 MP (1408x792)
Video Speed 30 FPS

So why does HoloLens cost 3000 bucks ? Likely all the sensors on board that scans the room in real-time as well as the eye-tracking and that custom HPU. Toss in the complicated – and limited - manufacturing process for these computers and you have all the ingredients for a very rarely produced computer. Someday, when Microsoft scales production up the price will likely drop significantly. The good news, however, is the baseline specifications for HoloLens are not off the wall.

Let's hope it is the sensors or something because that price is pretty steep based on the hardware foundation. Consider that I just purchased the Kangaroo mini-pc which runs the quadcore atom Z8500, a faster atom version and basically the same level of performance for less than $100.

Funny coming from you, ignoring the fact that almost everything nvidia offers
is overpriced.

probably thanks to that custom made "HPU" imagine how much you have to pay intel to dedicate their time to make this special snowflake instead of mass market profitable chips
