My question is simpler, what does Gallium/Warp3D will bring to the platform if we subtract old games, open source games and software and others candy effects?
Which lead to an another one which is related to the first, what are Amigans expecting in this area since they're "begging" for this feature?

There are a number of games for Warp3D, some old some fairly new but we are currently restricted to R100 and R200 hundred hardware which is a decade old or we have to rely on Wazp which will run some of the software made for Warp3D.
The R800 and R900 drivers will mean that users of machines with PCIe don't have to rely on workarounds and will bring significant speed increases.
Gallium will bring full OpenGl capability to AmigaOS allowing for much better graphics in ported and original software.
Gallium also makes it possible to use the UVD decoders on Radeon 4000 and onward video cards. In theory UVD should allow 1080p video play back on on a Sam440 with even a Radeon 4350.
