Nothing.
Really.
Think of it like whether you have a straight 6 or V6 under the hood. As long as your car gets the same gas mileage with the same power, you don't and shouldn't care.
Same with Intel.

Apple is just switching their chipset and processor. Since Mac OS X (the operating system software) is based on UNIX, it can pretty much run on anything. So there won't be any difference. The guts are just different. Still Apple. They use IBM currently. No biggie.

Don't count on it. The only thing corroborating that is a report or two from SlashDot, which has more than a few people in the know questioning it.

And who are you planning on manufacturing and selling said logic board?
