PowerPC board Mirari: Benchmarks under MorphOS 3.20

Various benchmarks for the announced PowerPC board Mirari running MorphOS 3.20 have been published by Martina Hřebcová at the title link. In the Dhrystone test, for example, it is beaten by a slightly higher-clocked Mac mini, but in terms of memory speed, it is sometimes ahead of and sometimes behind a significantly higher-clocked iMac G5 in second place.

PSA

To whomever this may concern and to get you a break from the international news:

Your daily driver Windows computer is not obsolete after October 13th 2026. And above all it is NOT E-waste.

Your Apple computer is not E-waste if Tim Cook says so.

Chances are that even the beige DELL tower from 2003, which is currently holding the barn door open, is not obsolete.

And if you have an old/broken computer: please sell or donate it. If nothing else, someone can learn to solder working on it.

Contact your local IT nerd for further questions. The one with an Atari or Amiga T-shirt. Someone you know will know one.

You can also contact IT nerds here in the fediverse. Almost all of us are here.

"This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!"

Today at the @berlincreators Retro/Amiga meeting, we spontaneously managed to pull off the first ever Mirari PowerPC User's Meetup! ... At least in Berlin. But maybe globally? 😅

Omg the Titanium Powerbook G4 I ordered off ebay is a thing of beauty. I got it online in only a few minutes in mac OS 9 by sharing my wifi connection to it via ethernet. It's in almost perfect condition and the screen looks amazing. I'm so happy right now.

Nice little present for myself.

Can't wait to get an ssh client on there and use it to talk to more modern services / mount some of my music etc over to it using netatalk.

I finally did it.

I may be literally 25 years late but I am now the proud owner of a Titanium PowerBook G4.

Strange that my desire for one of those machines has not abated in the intervening years.
