EFIKA is a small single board Power Architecture based computer manufactured by Genesi.

It is based on a 400 MHz Freescale MPC5200B SoC-processor and adds 44-pin 2.5" IDE, USB, serial port, stereo audio in/out, 100 Mbps Ethernet, 33/66 MHz PCI port and 128 MB DDR RAM. It's using an Open Firmware based CHRP compliant firmware with a special x86/BIOS emulator providing support for standard graphics cards on an AGP riser slot. The motherboard has a non-standard form factor, 118 mm x 153 mm x 38 mm small.

Due to its small size, RoHS compliance and energy efficient nature (drawing less than 20 W with a harddrive and a graphics card), the EFIKA is considered very environmentally friendly.

An EFIKA computer can run a variety of operating systems among Linux (Gentoo, openSUSE, Debian and CRUX PPC), MorphOS, OpenSolaris and QNX. It is sometimes called "EFIKA 5K2", since it uses the MPC5200B processor.

"Efika" is a word in Esperanto meaning "efficient".
