True but both the Nvidia and Apple offerings are kinda long in the tooth now and in need of an update.

It's rumoured that a new apple TV will come out soon. I've been looking at the options because I'm getting sick of the many ads on my fire TV stick.

I only have a 1080p TV so the rendering isn't really an issue for me.

The latest Apple TV SoC (released in late 2021) is the same one used in the iPhone 13 and 14 (non-Pro). 2x 3+ GHz P-cores and 4x E-cores and 4GB of memory. I haven’t noticed any issues.

Yeah but if I spend that much money (not sure about the US but here in Europe it's really expensive, 170 or 190 euro) I really want something recent :) for longevity also. It will have to last a good few years after all. 3 years in for the same price is just not a great deal. It's still a 3 year old cpu (I don't use iOS so I don't really follow what's SoC generation is what)

So I'll wait for the next version.
