The Apple TV 4K runs on Apple’s custom-made A12 Bionic chipset, which debuted in some Apple smartphone models like the iPhone XS and XR series. The Apple A12 Bionic chipset is a silicon chip packed with power to provide an overall excellent performance and power efficiency via the CPU and GPU.

This new Apple TV 4K is capable of playing 4K HDR video excellently. There would be a lot of content available for users in no time, as Apple is engaging actively with several content producers to produce compatible content for the Apple TV 4K.
