For internet streaming it is irrelevant.
In fact, the dual band MIMO wireless is overkill. Specsheet engineering.
Except for Netflix's upcoming 4K video streams, most internet streaming services keep their 1080p streams well under 10Mbps. Netflix typically runs around 6Mbps. And most households are lucky to get 20Mbps throughput off their broadband service.
Where gigabit pays off is for local file transfers and DLNA streaming. Which isn't something Amazon wants to encourage: they want to sell you fikes and cloud storage, not just a hunk of hardware.
