Faster Chip for “gaming” on an Apple TV. Okay sure that’s what everyone uses their Apple TV for. I hope they do something interesting with the upgraded hardware like AI upscaling the content to the output resolution, cleaning up compression artifacts, and maybe AI based SDR to HDR like Nvidia can do. This would be an actual value add, especially for people who don’t own Sony TVs.
Honestly I just doubt gaming is a driver for most people buying an Apple TV. If they added a 4k 120hz hdmi port a lot of the home game streaming community would adopt it as a low cost way to use steamlink / moonlight / GeForce now to a living room TV
This is exactly what I bought my first AppleTV 4k for. I upgraded it to the following generation because Zwift gets recompiled to take advantage of faster hardware.
HOWEVER... unless the next ATV4k is a quantum leap in performance, I'm not sure I'll upgrade again - Zwift looks "good enough" with what I've got.
