Hardcore gamer? How about video editing or a casual game of Elite Dangerous Horizons? Apple are leaving behind ALL gamers beyond casual mobile gamers and Blizzard fans (since Blizzard seem to be Apple fanboys and will support the Metal API on the Mac).

The Amiga is playing catch up but its GPU support is moving in the right direction and Warp3D Nova is a great initiative. All Apple cares about is battery life and slim form factors and they are letting their pro users down. Alienware and Asus are some of the only companies pushing performance these days on the PC.

I wouldn't say the power is being wasted but it's no longer being marketed as a selling point and hence customers are being fleeced especially in the Mac world.

In the Amiga world it's the software that needs updating. The X5000 is more than fast enough for a new Lightwave!

It's all about productivity really. Is the platform good for Blender, Hollywood and coding? Was it easy to produce Wings, Tower57 and Odyssey/Timberwolf? Is Warp3D Nova successful in bringing modern graphics acceleration to the Amiga and is it easily used and fast?

It's a bit of a worry that Hollywood is 64bit on all the other platforms other than the Amiga now :-( Surely that will slow down Amiga development?
