What does ''empirical bite'' mean in this context?

”Whether computationalism has empirical bite depends on how we construe the notion of computation. ”

I am having trouble understanding this. What does it mean? I checked the phrase itself (empirical bite) and then checked the word itself (bite) since there might be some uncommon meanings of the word that I did not know, but nothing fits the context. I have an idea that ”empirical bite” may mean something like ”empirically testable”, but I am helpless right now.
