Well, Intel of some kind.  There has been no announcement regarding what
specific Intel chip will be shipped.

IIRC, the prototype boxes that Apple is renting to developers right now
is a Pentium-D, so we can be certain that the boxes that ultimately
ship to customers will be x86-compatible, but there are still several
different chips that could be used besides the "M".
