Mixed reality headsets have come a long way since the beginning of the market many years ago.

Now, they are used for many markets beyond just entertainment. Take Magic Leap’s Magic Leap 2 augmented reality headset, which can be targeted for the consumer market but also can be used for other sectors like healthcare and industrial.

The Magic Leap 2 is powered by a Zen 2 CPU from AMD which is a quad-core processor as well as 8 GB mobile SDRAM memory from Samsung.

The following is a partial deep dive into the AR headset from TechInsights.
