A few specs for the new Chromecast with Google TV

by rtechr

Thanks to fuzztub07 we have some more info on what's inside the new Chromecast. Here's a link to the post with the image link so you can give him some thanks if you want:

The pictures he took are from running AIDA64. There's always a possibility it could read something incorrectly but it's usually pretty good. The one thing I'm not sure of is the storage. This says 4154MB total. A previous settings picture showed 4.4GB. We were assuming that was free storage out of 8GB. Now that is ambiguous.

So some things in the pics:

2GB RAM

4154 MB storage

4 core ARM Cortex-A55 1908MHz

64 bit ARMv8-A (32-bit mode)

You can look at the pics for more.

Already known from his previous posts:

Android TV 10

4.4GB storage (either free storage, possibly out of 8GB, or total)

USB-C power adapter

2 AAA battery remote

No IR on remote

Volume controls on remote control TV volume via CEC

Stadia app not currently available from Play Store

No built-in ethernet (he has not tried a USB-C adapter or hub)

4K and HDR support

You can get more info in the thread in which the link above is contained.

Edit: Here is another thread from the same user with a lot of information as well - https://www.reddit.com/r/googlehome/comments/iz50fb/scrolling_through_the_chromecast_ui_for_those/

Also, it was $50 at Walmart.

From what I can tell, this really is no better than a 4k FireTV Stick but for the fact it runs the Android...sorry, Google TV platform.

Google is going to have a rough time competing with 4k stick when they are often on sale for $25.

I've been holding off on buying a second shield tv, so if this thing can run Kodi and handle 1080 h265 I think I'm sold, despite wishing it had more storage and an ethernet port.

Low storage space no USB no AV1 support... Very disappointing.. I'll will be getting an Humax H7 it has AV1 HDR10 wifi 6 usb port and maybe even a Lan port.
