Compared to the old Chromecast this new one looks a lot different but has the same feature set. It even performs about the same as the old one did in my tests. The new one does have a preemptive caching feature that will start videos faster based on what it thinks you’re about to play.

But it does offer support for faster AC wireless networks both at 5 and 2.4 ghz. The new design also might improve wireless reception thanks to its additional antennas and flexible cable that gives it some distance from the television.
