No matter how much you try to keep your hands off from taking apart a gizmo, you still fumble over and do it.Some sadists at iFixit have skinned of Airport Extreme 802.11n to check out whats inside.You won't find any magic Apple inside it, just some, Ethernet ports and the usual circuit board.
However their benchmarks claim that there was a 10x performance boost, and a 3x usable range increase over the 802.11g using 802.11n(significantly better than Apple's 5x/2x claims).We can't confirm the scores at the moment but we expected to get some benchmark scores.

I’m thinking the obvious reason for the performance discrepancy is that they didn’t want to make the new Express 802.11n seem like a crap product by then having to claim lower numbers — Apple really tries to avoid this sort of marketing issue. If it’s faster than they say, that’s fine, but if they have to then tell you that another product is crappier because they don’t both meet a higher claimed performance mark, that’s not good for Apple’s image.
