Yeah, I'm aware of all that. I thought I pretty much covered the whole "advancement of technology" bit with:
But I guess not ¯\(ツ)/¯
We might see a MkII of the FM3 at some point, depending on if it makes sense to re-use the same form factor and architecture with an updated processor. It might just make more sense for Fractal to build the next generation of floor modelers instead. All depends on what the best decision for Fractal as a business is.
If we do, we'll probably get an updated FM9 as well (since I believe it's using the same guts as the FM3, just with more ?). But again, once die reductions reach the point where Fractal can put a better, more powerful CPU inside the FM3, it might more sense to just build the next thing.
I don't think there was ever a MKII of the AX8, so I don't think there's precedent for an improved version of a Fractal floor modeler yet.
