I read recently that for Macs or indeed the humble miggy would have to have software written or rewritten to take advantage of the extra speed those chips.
It was an article in a Mac magazine about what Apple are going to do next to keep up with the PC/Intel market with regard to processing power.
To take advantage of the 64-bit code, of course the OS and apps will have to be re-written. However, the point of this design is code-reuse. It can function as a G4-replacement as-is. You just won't get maximum benefit without the rewrite. Think the 386 which acted like a higher-speed 286 for ages until OS's were written to take advantage of it.
