The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
iphones and ipod touches are borderline too powerful for emulation on modern pc's.
that is why apple elected to compile native x86 binaries to on the iphone simulator, as opposed to emulating arm functionality and running the same compiled binary.
look at the nintendo ds, which we barely have decent emulators for, some things can run at 100% or faster but often ends up chugging. that device is less than 100 mhz arm.
the psp uses a 333 mhz arm, and that is pretty 'meh' as far as emulation status.
the wii uses a 729 mhz ibm custom processor, and our emulation of that on x86 struggles quite a bit.
i think the latest iphone (and definitely ipad) uses a 1ghz arm variant.
