#Cherryos mac emulator for windows Pc#

I would like to see a PC proc emulate a RISC proc at 80% speed. There is no evidence that any of you math is correct. Without seeing source code, hardware designs, real world tests, these figures are useless. so if you have a 2.2ghz Athlon, 80% of that is 1.76ghz, so that might be around 1.5 ghz G4 processor. its going to be alittle different depending on several factors but its pretty close). thats about a 1.3-1.5ghz G4 processor(thats a guestimate. To be honest, AMD 32bit procs have been left behind by the P4. In fact, an AMD 3200 was slower in almost all the benchmarks than a comparible P4 3.2ghz. If you look at the benchmarks you will see that a 3ghz P4 will woop a 2.1 ghz proc. While I'll admit that Apple computers are far prettier than PCs, PCs are a whole lot cheaper and costumizable.Д®ver wonder why a 2.1 ghz AMD processor is just as fast(or faster many times) than a 3ghz Pentium 4? They'll finally have to be in a competetive market against all the other hardware makers. I think the only thing we need to worry about is hardware and stability. But we're talking VERY comparable speeds to the apple processors here. Now I can already see that my math is alittle off here. So thats about a 2.6-2.8 ghz P4(depending on cache size. Now they are only slightly shorter than AMD processors so a 1.6ghz processor would be maybe about the same as a 1.9 or 2.0 ghz(probably the lower end) AMD processor. okay first of all what you guys have to realize is that in the processor world there are wonderful things called pipelines.Д®ver wonder why a 2.1 ghz AMD processor is just as fast(or faster many times) than a 3ghz Pentium 4? Well its because the data pipelines in the AMD processor are shorter, making the time required for data to travel faster. A somewhat weak argument, but it could be enough, considering by the looks of it, CherryOS is a teeny little company compared to Apple.

Looking to the legal aspect, Apple can claim that CherryOS is infringing on thier turf because they allow Mac OS X products to run on unsupported Apple hardware which violates Apple's License Agreement.

#Cherryos mac emulator for windows serial numbers#

However, it would be sad for an emulator to force Mac users into the degraded world that PC Users face with thier OS needing serial numbers and activations etc. Apple is quite lax about it's products and this is due to the fact that they only work with Macs. We all know how commonly Windows is pirated. CherryOS, being a commercial product is going to hurt Apple if it is a success. Apple hasn't as of yet said anything about PearPC, but then again, PearPC isn't charging money. I don't see Apple staying quiet in this arena. It seems the Mac community has been somewhat in chaos in regards to these emulators. Most of us Mac users will recall that Blue Label Power Emulator from Lismore was considered as VapourWare for the longest time, and in the end, it did turn out to be real but reports of it's performance were not as good as what was boasted. After all, why risk his neck to make money when someone else is willing to? Of course, nothing has been heard from that for some time, so it might be possible he sold the rights to someone else.

#Cherryos mac emulator for windows software#

Jim Drew who is a known figure in Mac emulation (creator of Fusion, Mac emulator for dos) was at one point supposedly have created a Mac PPC emulator, which had both a software version and a hardware version. Not to mention Apple has a say in the matter. However, the Mac Emulation community has been the most volatile because of late deadlines, vapourware and the like. That page has an interesting review plus a few screenshots.
