Turns out the new Google TV Streamer has a different chip under the hood

Looks like the Chromecast replacement is running on a MediaTek processor.

Android Central has contacted Google for a comment on the streaming device's chipset and will update this article once we receive a response. Amazon's version has a quad-core CPU running up to 2.0GHz, giving us an idea of the Google TV Streamer's potential processing power. In any case, switching from Amlogic to MediaTek for Google’s streaming devices makes sense given their leading roles in the TV chip market.
