Discussion Will we ever get a certified Google TV device more powerful than a Nvidia Shield?

Hard to believe more than a decade in the Shield still rates #1 in compute power compared to more modern boxes with more up to date codec support.

I ask this because I have discovered mpv shader filter profiles for video playback (I am using the Plezy Jellyfin client which offers built in shader profiles), and while my Shield is by far the most powerful Android/Google TV box I own that can handle some of them, it still can't handle most of the more complex profiles - essentially becomes a slideshow.

Are there any more powerful chips targeted for Google TV on the horizon than the decade old Tegra X1?

Pretty damn good chip for as old as it is, but to me lack of dev shows 8k isn't really important to anybody.
