According to reports, the new Chromecast with Google TV will address some of the performance issues the original version had. There have long been rumors of a version with improved storage, more ram, and a slightly faster processor. For now, though, that is all speculation.
The new Chromecast With Google TV was first spotted in a preview update of the Google Home app. Alongside the old model code “YTV” there is a new one called “YTC.”
Currently, there are two versions of the Chromecast with Google TV an HD version and a 4K version.
