AMD APUs offer similar gpus in an integrated package.
You can't be serious?! You don't see the difference between a proper Radeon R9 GFX card (or R7 or most other current Radeon GFX cards) on a proper Intel Broadwell Core i5 platform with decent performance Intel chipset, and some integrated AMD APU crap? There was a point in time where you could say about AMD CPU's that "well hey, at least it's cheap". But that was a looong time ago, IMHO AMD lost its relevance on desktop computing somewhere back when PPC became obsolete.

It wouldn't bother me in the least if we supported those.
I bet it wouldn't, after all you are advocating a "future" based on PPC...

And I have never favored supporting only the largest player in the industry, as lack of competition defeats innovation.
Yeah, let us make the purpose of next generation MorphOS to even out the x86 market shares out of some ideological "fairness" reason, and MorphOS betting its life on the notorious number two will really make a difference and change the x86 market in this regard.

Plus, when Intel made the mistake of betting on the Pentium 4, AMD products were kicking their ass.
Pentium 4?!?? Really...?

I don't anticipate Intel failing this way in the future, but without competition they WILL try to feed us similar crap.
Yes, because feeding the world crap is how Intel became the single relevant player on the Desktop market...

As to the comparable power of PPCs vs. X64 processors, they are not nearly as far apart as you seem to think.
Yes they are. Not even in the same dimension.

Even ARM is approaching a competitive stance with X64.
No, not really, not in a desktop context.

And, as you have pointed out, its all microcode based anyway.
Oh my god...
MorphOS is Amiga
done right! 
MorphOS NG will be AROS
done right!
