Now that the brand new 2020 Amazon Fire TV Stick three and Fire TV Stick Lite have been released, it’s time to see how they stack up in opposition to present Fire Tv models, previous and current. While computational benchmark scores are in no way going to tell you the way effectively a gadget will perform at real-world on a regular basis tasks, they’re nonetheless helpful to know how a lot uncooked energy each Fire Tv, Firestick, and Fire Tv Cube have to supply, should you push them to their limits. I’ve run all 10 Fire Tv models which have ever been launched by means of 4 fashionable benchmarks that take a look at their CPU, GPU, Memory, and extra. Listed below are the results. Each Fire Tv was manufacturing facility relaxation and fully up to date to the newest software version available as of right this moment. All units had been left idle for several hours prior to the check and rebooted for every new benchmark. I ran every benchmark 3 occasions on every machine (yup, that’s 120 assessments complete) and have taken the common of the 2 highest scores.



These are all newly run scores from the final 24 hours on the first, 2nd, & 3rd-gen Fire TV Stick, the Fire TV Stick Lite, the 1st & 2nd-gen Fire Tv Cube, the Fire TV Stick 4K, the 1st & 2nd Fire Tv packing containers, and the 3rd-gen Fire Tv pendant. Certainly one of the most well-liked benchmarks is Geekbench, which runs a number of dozen assessments and provides results for each a single-core and all accessible CPU cores. It primarily taxes the Flixy Device’s CPU, so it’s attention-grabbing that the Fire TV Stick Lite consistently scored ever so barely higher than the Fire TV Stick 3, though they have the exact same CPU. This is probably going on account of the truth that the Fire TV Stick 3 has onboard Dolby decoding and Tv/AV gear control, which the Fire TV Stick Lite doesn't. One or each of those features in all probability take up a tiny little bit of resources all the time, which is mirrored in this benchmark rating.



A way more outstanding instance of this sort of CPU overhead taken by a characteristic is with the first-gen Fire Tv Cube and the 3rd-gen Fire Tv, which, again, share the exact same CPU. Their single-core scores differ barely, but there may be a big distinction in their multi-core score as a result of the 1st-gen Cube’s always-listing mics eat about half of a core always to detect the Alexa wake phrase. The 2nd-gen Fire Tv Cube has an analogous overhead requirement, but its highly effective 6-cores have plenty of processing power to spare. The AnTuTu benchmark is a cumulative score of its CPU, Memory, and UX assessments. Like Geekbench, it heavily emphasizes the CPU (about 50% of the score), but in contrast to Geekbench, AnTuTu devotes a third of its score to the device’s memory performance. It’s attention-grabbing that The Fire TV Stick 3 outperforms the Fire TV Stick Lite by about 3% on this test. Looking at the score breakdown reveals that nearly all of that benefit was in the reminiscence exams.



To affirm the results, I ran the PassMark reminiscence and disk tests on the two new Firesticks and that check also confirmed an advantage for the Fire TV Stick three over the Fire TV Stick Lite, significantly with information write speeds. These subsequent two benchmarks, 3DMark and GFXBench, each take a look at the units GPU. The GPU is primarily used for games, so these scores represent every device’s gaming capabilities, however the GPU does play a component in rendering elements of the interface and how smoothly it feels when quickly navigating around. The 2 new Fire Tv Sticks are crushed only by the 2nd-gen Fire Tv Cube and 2nd-gen Fire Tv field, which are both obvious powerhouses in the case of gaming capabilities. It’s worth noting that in all of these benchmarks, including these gaming benchmarks, Flixy Device the brand new 1080p Sticks barely, but constantly, outperform the Fire TV Stick 4K. It’s most likely not a giant enough difference to be noticeable in common use, however it’s there nonetheless.



These three newest Firesticks all use the same GPU, use very comparable CPUs, and have the same 1.7Ghz CPU velocity/cores. My guess for the Fire TV Stick 4K’s barely inferior performance is the extra resources needed to output a 4K interface as an alternative of a 1080p interface. The brand new 1080p gadgets do run Fire OS 7, whereas the Fire TV Stick 4K runs Fire OS 6, so that may additionally have to do with the efficiency difference. The newer OS , which relies on Android 9 instead of Android 7.1, is perhaps barely better optimized. The Fire TV Stick 4K is a good system and has been very well obtained by the Fire Tv enthusiast neighborhood, so it’s good to see that the brand new entry-level Fire TV Stick Lite and Fire TV Stick 3 carry out just as well as the 4K Stick. It’s hard to imagine that these relatively low-cost and tiny new Fire Tv Sticks now pack about the identical energy as the original 1st-gen Fire Tv box that started all of it.
