I was wondering, what is the true CPU power of the FM3? It would be cool if fractal added it to the bar graph on their website that shows how powerful it is vs the other Axefx models.....
I've been doing a bit of reading and it has a cpu that uses the SHARC+ core, which has a longer pipeline than the SHARC(AX8, Helix).. Which makes it faster and slower at different types of operations, in my understanding depending on how it is programmed. But it also has a ARM core to take care of the non audio processing stuff and from what I can see has a much better floating point capability, which I am guessing would be better for audio algorithms...
Can anyone tell me if I am on the right track here, in terms of the capability of the unit vs say an AX8?
