Is Amazon Fire TV Cube 32 bit or 64 bit that has better processor and performance

Hey guys, I just wanna know if it's way slightly faster that has already being compared to the Fire TV Stick 2nd gen with 32-bit processor and performance. Especially with Fire TV 1st gen and Fire TV Stick 1st gen that are 32-bit processor and performance too. Can you explain this, please? Cause I just wanna see the details for what's going on with the specs that has been released in 4 months ago.

http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-tv-cube-benchmarks-faster-than-the-fire-tv-3-but-with-a-catch/
Quad core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU up to 1.5GHz. Supports 32-bit apps.
Ever heard of "Google"?
Well, yes I have. And also, like I'm gonna say it again in a different way than the same, is there a CPU with 64-bit that's inside and uses 32-bit apps as well?

32-bit
I know a bit of an old thread, but since I'm looking at some amazon fire tvs.
fire tv (gen 2) (note latest is gen 3) - Amazon AFTS (Android 5.1.1, API 22) - arm64-v8a
fire tv stick 4k (latest mar 2019) - Amazon AFTMM (Android 7.1.2, API 25) - armeabi-v7a
fire tv cube (latest mar 2019) - Amazon AFTA (Android 7.1.2, API 25) - armeabi-v7a
I'm surprised the older device that can't have OS upgraded is the arm64 bit arch!

If you look at the actual specs themselves, the SOCs for the 3rd Gen TV, Cube and the 4k Stick are 64-bit.
The OS/API itself is limited to 32-bit.
One explanation: https://androidpctv.com/comparative-mediatek-mt8695/
One can Google for more sources.
I think Amazon did this intentionally, so they didn't have to maintain an OS for two different architectures. Once they depreciate/discontinue the 2nd Gen Fire TV Stick, I bet they will migrate the entire Fire TV OS to 64-bit.

Shield TV Pro SSD Upgrade

Is it possible to upgrade latest nvidia shield tv pro with a SSD?
only nvidia shield pro 2015/2017 models
shield tv pro 2019 nvidia model NO, nvidia shield tv pro 2015 and 2017 YES, BUT ----samsung 860 500gb ssd---- !!!!!!!!ONLY!!!!!!!!! (more capacity/different model ssd's will not work if you want them to work you have to start messing around with linux scripts etc.... quite complicated) just remove your hdd from shield and clone your removed hdd to new ssd then install new ssd in to shield 2015/2017 models

2x Fire HD 8 storage problems

Hello,
I own 1x Fire HD 8 (7th gen, 2017) + 1x Fire HD 8 (8th gen, 2019), each 16GB.
Due to a storage issue i recently made an overview of how the storagy is composed, for one by the internal system display and just to verify by a tool called "Disk Usage".
To my surprise i'm missing out round about 3,6GB total storage on the 7th gen and 4,7GB on the 8th gen.
The only things coming to my mind were a) system data (which as I understand is already included in either way) and b) after some research "bad NAND flash blocks".
Can any1 comfirm bad blocks are an issue for tablets of that little age or low price tablets? Or is there anything else I'm missing?
Plus, what to do about it? As I understand it, bad blocks ain't recoverable? Is there something i can do about that?
