I got a CPU monitoring app for the Apple Vision Pro and was surprised to find that at almost all times 5/8 of the CPU cores are at 50-80% usage, even under light load. I wonder if it's due to all the processing for pass through and environment mapping but it is interesting that the available processing power seems to be 3 cores + whatever is available on the other 5 due to the heavy idle load.
Got a tip for us?

The pass through camera feed and sensor data is all supposed to be handed exclusively on R1 I thought.
But I figure when you’re using it, it’s doing all that foveated menu/content rendering and that along with background tasks probably accounts for the base load on the M2.

Consider Apple recommends you leave power connected when you take it off. Reason is the headset continuously updates so when you open apps, they are current. All of that continues when you are using the VP. The R1 helps. Without it, the M2 version used would probably be overwhelmed.
