It doesn't even support FRS right now:

The hardware is most likely not capable of any video output modes beyond HDMI 2.0, since the internal DPI/HDMI converter is the same 2.0 model that was used in the previous generation. They just added an audio transceiver for eARC (see here).

There's no difference in PQ between the new ATV 4K and the old one right now.

It wouldn't necessarily exclude the possibility that they may have improved image processing steps such as tone mapping, upscaling etc. The A12 SoC does have a more powerful GPU than the A10X that was used in the old model. But that wouldn't have anything to do with HDMI 2.1.

Anyway, I have both generations and haven't noticed any obvious difference.
