Either way, Apple's statement was marketing-speech, and ALL marketing-speech, regardless of vendor, is better off ignored.
Only 64 bit chips aimed at the server market are availible. Apple's 64 bit chip will be the first aimed specifically for the desktop. I feel their claims are justified as long as they ship on time. Only time will tell on that one.
