Wait, if single core performance matters, could it be that the MacBook Neo could be a good machine for 86Box? I assume thermal throttling could be a limitation but in theory it should be as fast as an M3 for single core performance.
86box is really fun, and the m4+ macs are great at running it. I've been working on a custom OS designed specifically for the pentium 2 core/isa (trying to write an high performance *nix for 1997-1999 for quake 1/2). 86box runs very faithfully to the real silicon p2s (and voodoo 3) I have without the nuisance of having to copy code over to it in development.

Emulated llama whipping, what an era we live in
Emulated Voodoo 3? Does that mean I can run games using Glide?
Ah, those specs will run Need for Speed II smoothly!
But can it run Crysis? :-D
It can run Doom for sure.
Hardly, given that the hardware predates the game.
I would be interested to see a performance comparison with qemu and softgpu (https://github.com/JHRobotics/softgpu).
Now I want to emulate my dual PIII-450 with an ATI Rage Fury 128 running Windows 2000.
Heh I had one of those back in the day with an Intel made L440GX+ and SCSI disks. One of my favourite machines.
