Issues with the EULA aside, this could virtualize at full speed Mac OS 9 and OSX/ppc vms, isn't that correct? Power 9 is a superset of the earlier ISA.

I don’t think ppc is compatible with power: it’s a derivative of an older version of the power architecture.

At the very least it should be much less of a leap to virtualize old PPC hardware on them, compared to doing the same on x86 or ARM.
