For processors, in addition to CPU and GPU, HoloLens will possess an HPU, holographic processing unit. HPU is a coprocessor that is dedicated to integrating real world and virtually generated content. It consolidates and processes all the data from various sensors and produces a thin stream of useful information to the other processors. HPU removes the burden of handling heavy external data from the CPU and GPU, allowing them to focus on creating content.
