Do you know where that would put it relative to the others - Fractal, Fender, QC?
Do the others have a GPU? Is the GPU just for the TS or is it going to do some AI for tone (proxy or otherwise)? Anyone know?

Just a guess, but a dedicated GPU would be overkill for a small touchscreen that only serves as a UI. The obvious place to use it would be Proxy, but it could possibly be used to accelerate some other things, even amp sims and drive effects. AFAIK, Stadium is the first modeler that contains a GPU. I doubt it would make sense to dedicate the necessary storage on the device for AI features, but who knows.The inclusion of a GPU might be the most notable thing about the hardware.
Fender TMP is a black hole. No idea there.
No one knows what's in the Stadium for sure, but I believe it's the updated version of whatever ARM SoC is in QC and Fractal, but running at a higher clock speed and with other incremental improvements in bandwidth, memory and other things.

What do we think is going to happen to the TBP once Stadium is out?

hopefully goes down in price and remains relevant.What do we think is going to happen to the TBP once Stadium is out?

GPU in itself doesn't mean much. Smartphones have a GPU, crappy laptops have one. It doesn't necessarily even mean there's anything on the GPU that can be used for any sort of machine learning acceleration.
It could be simply to drive the touchscreen UI smoothly.

Part of it is, yeah.

Can the machine learn to play so I don't have to?

Unfortunately they already have.
Like an actual Suck Knob that you could turn down?
Is that like the 'Cut' knob version of the Hype knob?
BTW, this is what my youtube looks like after watching that new Helix Stadium video. Do you see it?
The video comes with its own Hype button - good move L6!

The other part is when you launch vst support, right?

Which stand is it? The one with the keyboard? If so do you have a link to it?
If you had a control on their called ‘Suck Knob’ that would be worn out before 1.2 was released. Which is why we need the manual so we don’t misuse such things.
I keep twisting it, but it isn't DOING anything!
Instructions unclear. Johnson stuck in input jack.
Thank GOD for the auto impedance setting, is all I have to say.
