Model number for AppleTV with A5X chip?

[BiscottiGelato]

Went thru all 12 boxes of ATV at the Metrotown (BC, Canada) Apple Store. All A1427s... Waste of my time!!

Bought mine in Florida last week at the Apple Store whilst on holiday and i too have the A1469 model.

Well pleased.

I just wanted to say that today I walked into our local Apple Store in Nashville, TN and bought an AppleTV with model number A1469. It was the first box I picked up, so I didn't check the others to see if they had any older ones mixed in. I was just happy to find a new one and bought it.

I also got the new model yesterday. I still wonder if it does indeed have the A5X.

No one has actually proven such a thing exists, unfounded rumor and speculation. All Chundles said was his ATV3 is noticeably faster than his ATV2. Well of course it is, it has the A5 vs. the A4 of the older generation 2 model, not the A5X.

Yeah, and my new one doesn't seem any different in size either.

The "new" Apple TV isn't smaller.

The "new" Apple TV isn't smaller.

Early reports show it being about 5mm smaller in width and depth.

The one I have is exactly the same size.

That is a diagram of the rubber base of the Apple TV. It doesn't include the thin edge of the top case. The new model will be/is the same size as the previous model

Hi Kristoffer

Which store did you find it at?

My local Fona in Denmark. 🙂

Thanks, now I know where to look... 🙂

I ordered one from staples website for delivery and received A1469. They just started selling them so I figured good chance they only have new inventory.

Do these have the same SKU as the early 3rd gens? I'm assuming yes, I understand the model number is different. Anybody with a new one, I would appreciate it if you could post it so I can compare.

Well, no A5X chip after all. Pity, I was hoping the extra GPU cores would be used for games and apps.

But does the new Apple TV 3.2 use both cores?

But does the new Apple TV 3.2 use both cores?

No because the new version of the chip only has one core. Since they never used both cores before, removing it probably helped them make it smaller and more efficient.
