Thanks to inico for this info.
According to OSX86project, the last release of Rosetta supports Altivec instructions, allowing to emulate a G4 instead of a G3.
This is an important news, giving additional strength to the rumors of an earlier-than-expect MacIntel.
Indeed, the previous non support of Altivec by Rosetta was real brake for future MacIntel, since many PPC applications are using Altivec instructions set.
Of course one should not expect an amazing performance level while converting Altivec-SSE2 instructions, but Rosetta is currently able to make most of our current applications written for PPC to run on a future MacIntel.
