Apple Patent Reveals Larger Apple TV Heat Sink Right for Gaming

Earlier today Patently Apple discovered a patent application filing that listed one of Apple's leading
product design engineers. The patent application was published under its inventor's names as a means
of avoiding being published under Apple's name at the US Patent Office. Legally speaking, Apple only
has to appear as the assignee after the patent application has been granted. This is a somewhat common
practice that Apple uses to keep specific intellectual property out of the lime light until the last possible
moment. The discovery today covers a rather simple invention. It's about providing Apple TV with a much
larger heat sink. Today's Apple TV supports a 32-bit single-core A5 processor. But if Apple should ever
decide to adopt their faster A7 or future A8 64-bit single or multi-core processors to support gaming, it
would need a larger heat sink. In context, last Wednesday iFixit uncovered a larger heat sink in Amazon's
new Fire TV that's aiming at Android gaming. The trend is obvious.
