"... Following the announcement of the Google TV Streamer, I obtained a copy of the device’s build properties, which reveals that the device (code-named “kirkwood”) is powered by the MT8696 MediaTek chip. This is notably the exact same chipset found in the 2021 Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max and very similar to the one in the 2nd generation model from 2023.
Although the specifications for the MT8696 haven’t been published by MediaTek anywhere online, Amazon says that the MT8696(T) variant of the chipset in the 2nd Gen model features a quad-core CPU clocked at up to 2.0GHz. The core design is ARM’s Cortex-A55, and it’s said the GPU is Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR GE9215 with cores clocked at up to 850MHz. Lastly, it’s mentioned that the chipset offers support for decoding Dolby Vision, HDR 10, HDR10+, HLG, H.265, H.264, VP9, and AV1 content, which are all to be expected.
The Google TV Streamer, however, has double the RAM and storage of the 2nd Gen Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. The latter only has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, whereas the former ships with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. The 1st Gen Amazon device from 2021 features Wi-Fi 6 support, whereas the 2024 Google device only supports Wi-Fi 5. The reason for this is that Google chose to use the MT7663e2 Wi-Fi module from MediaTek, which is a Wi-Fi 5 module. Google likely chose this module to cut down on costs, but it’s worth mentioning that the 2021 Fire TV Stick 4K Max retailed for almost half the price of the TV Streamer. ..."
