@musicalmac: i had the m1 max with 32gb and I sold it and got 14 with 16 gb for arm version its more than enough. it all come back to what you do, but future proffing is 16gb with arm will be more than enough for 5 years I guess if you do some v-cutting and office and programing .

I would go with 570, as the new ryzen will be coming soon, with that there is pretty good chances it would be supported.

well, Ryzen is currently is the best to get, the new intel 12k gen despite the high performance, has a lot of issues like compatibility..

I would go to 5600X, and with 570 Board, I wont specify as I don't know your budget, yet if you have high one you can go to the latest from AMD 5900X that would be for sure an overkill.

if only all 3rd party stuff works on other Platforms, yet I m using Mac/linux for personal stuff and for Work Windows due restriction for some software which bothers me a lot or I would have been full linux.

if I wanna game I have xbox XS, they are supporting it anyway to the core so why would I bother..

@fedor: ah you're right..

@daredevils2k: exactly what I was thinking of, and to be honest embarrassing to Microsoft if you ask me ...... at least do something new...

also one of the representers said " it just Works ", isn't this an apple thing ?.......

still waiting for sequel for this vampire Kyne or something was his name...

@i_p_daily: Sony covers the "loses" by selling more units from their platform, this would not be the same case for Xbox.

i wont see Microsoft changing this policy to make it exclusive to their platform anytime soon but if it is would be after Phill leaving them as it would be a big hit for what he said.

only time will tell.

the exclusivity thing will never happen, this would a money loser for the Studio which gets MS anyway money and against Phill philosophy.
