Mac Mini M6: Retro PC Emulation with 86Box (600MHz PII?!)
- Why 86Box Cares About One Core 86Box emulates an old PC at the hardware level.
- CPU timing, chipset behaviour, ISA and PCI buses, graphics chipsets, sound devices, and disk controllers all matter to getting period software to behave properly.
- That does not guarantee identical performance to the original hardware, as the Cinebench results below illustrate.
