I wonder if MorphOS can still run on ~10Mhz (emulated)processor efficiently... ;)

If I recall correctly, the Mars rover probes was running on 20Mhz PowerPCs.
Amiga 1200 PiStorm32-Emu68-RPI 4B 4GB.
Ryzen 9 7900X, DDR5-6000 64 GB, RTX 4080 16 GB PC.

You could be right about the Mars probes.  AFAIK, a good number of car companys use PowerPC in the ECU modules for engine management.  The emphasis is on day to day reliability as opposed to outright processing power, and it's not like we can travel however many million miles to make sure a chip fan is seated properly ;-)
