Despite what many (including myself) thought when EA announced they would support the Mac platform, the games EA will release are actually not native ports - instead, they will use Transgaming's Cider engine, a Wine-like wrapper for running Windows games on Intel Macs. This news was found in a Transgaming press release. Apart from the fact that this might negatively affect performance, it also means PowerPC Macs will not be able to play these games.

I doubt they will, but Transgaming is very good at DirectX and as long as Apples OpenGL drivers (hopefully Nvidia can help them here) doesn't suck it will probably be very close to a native port in speed anyway.
