86Box runs a Pentium II 600MHz with Voodoo 3 on Mac Mini M6
A benchmark run shows 86Box emulating a Pentium II system with a Voodoo 3 graphics card at a stable 600MHz on an M6 Mac Mini. The test highlights that 86Box performance is dominated by single-thread speed, and that recent ARM-focused improvements in 86Box help Apple Silicon sustain higher emulation speeds.
