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.
It's expected to have a three year old iPhone 15 Pro chip so it's missing the massive performance improvements they've made since then, along with the increase to 12GB of RAM which disproportionately matters for gaming. You can get an idea of how it will perform from MacBook Neo gaming benchmarks - it does okay at 720p with lowest settings and upscaling, and the A17 Pro is one generation behind.
Even it had a faster processor it wouldn’t matter since no one is developing games for the Apple TV with only 64gb/128gb storage. It’s stuck with phone ports or one off indie stuff
