It is good news that there isn't a whole new motherboard or internals... since the new CPUs are designed to be a drop-in replacement. That's the advantage that Intel has provided - a decent bump in performance and battery life can be achieved without any substantial engineering changes to the machine.
As other have noted - this is a speed and performance bump, not an entirely new platform. I think Apple will evaluate the sales of the MacBook Air before substantially retooling the Pro. That will take at least a year.
Awesome Changes! It is good
