The other major factor is whether developers approach the G4 by designing from scratch or being more conservative and tweaking parts of an existing engine. If the above estimates are true, software written especially for G4 may result in performance improvements that are as big if not bigger than what you can get from buying newer and faster hardware with generic PowerPC software. In the end, how fast your G4 hardware plays games will come down to the speed of system extensions, how much developers are willing to commit to the new processor, and how much effort and ingenuity they will put into G4 games.
