My personal anecdote. My Roku just started running like trash on everything. It is older, maybe 4+ years old. If I bought a newer one, maybe it would be better. Instead I just bought the Apple TV box and it runs well. Of course the Apple TV has, I am pretty sure, a lot more processing power since it runs the A-series of processors.

Old Roku here (the new one, bought when the old one kept telling me I needed an SD card when switching providers is still sitting in its box several years later) and no issues with Apple TV.

I never tried Apple TV on my Roku. It was mostly Netflix and Hulu that were choking hard on mine. But also like I said, it could be because it was older hardware and definitely an older chipset on it. I imagine the newer ones have better chips which run better.
