Just a quick query, is there any benefit of this version vs Pistorm-32 Lite and RPi3A+ ?

The CM4 is much faster. But given how fast it already is, real-world difference is probably negligible. No software for the 68k Amigas were ever written to even make use of 800 MIPS. The only piece of software that I found so far that hits the limit of the 3A+ is the port of Quake II. It runs fine, but starts to stutter at 640x480. If you absolutely must play Quake II in 640x480 on an Amiga at 30+fps, get the CM4. Otherwise, the 3A+ is perfectly fine.

@ lesta_smsc

Real World difference is seriously significant in every manner.

My 2200 MIPS A1200 strongly disagrees!

Some may see this amount of 68k power as pointless, which is of course a perfectly valid viewpoint. But for others such as myself, it's all about trying to make an A1200 run as fast (and stable) as possible - just because we can, and for no other reason.

Indeed & seeing AIBB Beachball Render in 0.06 seconds is simply awesome.
