What would the new-gen even have that the current gen doesn’t?

Off the top of my head I can think of several Ax4 items. In no particular order:
  • Relay switching jacks to facilitate amp channel switching in 4cm scenarios.
  • Separated Left/Right Input and Output blocks.
  • Stereo block input option for all pitch modes (several only allow mono in the current Axefx).
  • Acoustic sim block including 12 String mode.
  • Feedbacker block equal or better than digitech Freqout.
  • Doubler block equal or better than TC mimic.
  • A Tape/Doubler block equal or better than Strymon Deco.
  • Increased CPU (yes - some can max it in some scenarios (and always will)).
  • Full user assignable CPU without block instance limits within available CPU.
  • Allow distinct modifiers attached to a given control in each and every channel.
  • Isolated virtual power amp section capability.
  • Reverse MUX block that can send input to a selectable mix of multiple output paths.
  • More Send/Return blocks.
  • Profiling capability (have not always been a fan, but Tonex convinces me it is at least .. "handy".
  • Export Tone Match to PEQ.
  • 31 Band Output EQs - on/off midi switchable.
  • Offline Patch Editing.
  • Ios editor support.
  • Separate headphone volume ctrl.
  • Customizable front panel home screen.
  • 2U Form factor.
  • Merged Midi Out/Thru option.
  • Polyphonic synth
  • ...
(There's a thread for this list somewhere (Ax4 feature list) but I can't seem to find it.)
this is a legit list of both hardware and software items.
 
There’s been a lot of talk about what Fractal’s next gen product will be, but I don’t really understand what could be added to the AxeIV, FM3, and FM9 next-gen that isn’t already on those units now. The only thing I can think of is capturing, but that’s not really Fractal’s cup of tea. I do wish tone match was added to the FM3 and FM9, but I don’t think that will ever happen.
the only improvement id like is enough processing power that i dont have to worry about resource utilization...and a 2nd pitch block.

Supplies limited. Sanity not included.
 
Enough memory to have full dynacabs on board would be great, lack of it is why i don't buy them. That A LOT of memory though.
Even just the option to load some for a select few mics would be huge. Like I don’t need all 23 mics from the 810 ampeg pack, but loading 3-4 favorites would be nice.
