An 800MHz ARM running PowerPC software in emulation is going to outperform an actual PowerPC running at 1.1GHz? Hell, they even have the same speed memory, it's not like the PPC accelerator is going to be cache-starved or anything. (Admittedly, anything on the Zorro III bus is going to be a bottleneck, but I still can't see general execution speed being outperformed by a slower chip running an emulator.)
heh, I didn't say emulate, I said port
Me bad, I should have been more complete tbh: I mean, port UAE + OS4 to the ARM on a PI, then run 68k emulated + newer code native and forget about the dead-end ppc.
More importantly, how many ££££ for the ppc versus ££ for the PI ? even people wanting to have a laugh could afford it.
