To me this is a signal of reusing the GPU innovations that were required for the Vision Pro in currently available products and then finding a martket for it (gaming)

Eh, the GPU changes with ray tracing were supposed to land last year as part of A16 but heat issues required them to pull it.
The bright side is that if you are on a yearly release cadence then you don’t let one thing slip the whole SOC (assuming, as Apple does, that you have a risk on and risk off design going simultaneously).
Your are right on that the Vision Pro will have a M3 not M2.

It's been publicly announced as using M2 but I assume they just plan to say "we made it even faster" and launch with M3 then?

possibly a more affordable standard tier with the m2

Where did you read about this? Is there some publication that publishes insights into things like this?

VR 3D mumbojumbo is a dead end.

I already have a couple 3D videos that I’ve recorded. It’s one of the most powerful aspects of VR computing. I’m hopeful that they continue to iterate on 3d photos and video.
It’s a space that needs standardization and more big players need to be there.

Vision Pro is based on the A15 SoC.

We don't know what's in the R1.

We know it doesn’t have any general purpose compute.

No it isn't. It is M2 based

…which is, you know, A15-based.

If you mean to say they share the same architecture, you're correct. I misunderstood your phrasing
