The Fire TV also comes with a 64-bit quad-core CPU, a dedicated GPU, and 8GB of on-device storage. It also has a hardwired Ethernet port, which is what I would use (802.11ac is great, but a wired connection will always be better). Speaking of bandwidth, the Fire TV is outfitted with an 802.11ac Wi-Fi adapter, so you can take full advantage of that high-end router you invested in. The new Amazon Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote costs just $10 more than the older model without a voice remote. “The Fire TV will recognize when it’s connected to a 4K TV and will offer content at that resolution if it’s available.” Twerdahl also pointed out that consumers who don’t have 4K TVs will still benefit from the new HEVC codec Amazon is using-which he said is twice as efficient compared to the codec in use today-because the video stream will consume less bandwidth. Twerdahl said there would be no upcharge for streaming Amazon’s original content in 4K or for any 4K movies included with an Amazon Prime subscription.

The Amazon Fire HD with Voice Remote is the least-expensive streamer on the market that supports 4K video resolution.
