Better update abilitiesWhile performance should be better – even with a less-capable processor and a bit less RAM – one part of Google TV 12 that is unquestionably better is the update process. With this version of the OS, Google can update it via storage partitions instead of relying on user-facing storage, and that means this Chromecast will actually be able to get bigger OS updates in the future, unlike the current 4K Chromecast that is still stuck on Android 10.AV1 decodingThough a bit less powerful, the new processor in the Chromecast with Google TV HD has a trick up its sleeve that the original cannot claim: AV1 decoding. AV1 is a newer codec that is more efficient with streaming high-quality video than the existing H.264 standard the original Chromecast relies on. As an example, YouTube has been pushing for this codec to be natively handled by hardware partners of late, so it really looks like AV1 could become the standard down the road.Less resolution, more speedFinally, this may not be a feature, but it will undoubtedly be an upside to Google’s decision to stick with an HD version of the Chromecast. No matter how you slice it, 4K is inherently more stressful on a processor than standard HD. We see it all the time with Chromebooks: when screen resolution goes up, performance goes down. It’s simple math and when you force the CPU to push around more pixels, every single task gets more intensive.
