The new device includes a processor that claims to be up to 22 percent faster than before, with twice as much RAM (4GB) and four times the storage (32GB). It supports 4K streaming at 60 fps with an HDMI 2.1a port. There's HDR support (Dolby Vision) and spatial audio (Dolby Atmos).

That whole "22% faster" worries me. 4 years later and only 22% faster?

Yeah 22% is very poor in the computer world.

The CCWGTV performance is a shit at 4K. The UI is far from smooth, some UHD shows randomly drop frames and sometimes I have to restart the device because Netflix and prime stop working.

Eventually I'll replace it, if the new device sucks I might try apple TV.

I mean it's a tiny device after all.

I also now have an HDR 4K 144Hz VRR OLED TV so it would be nice to get a device that supports this max resolution (like the PS5).
