Look at Phytech boards .
They are exactly like  that i.e. a common Main board with all Jazz of connectors and power supply and dotter board  connector for different CPUs....
Two boards ... it will be an extra cost for developer in the sens that enduser will use one or two controller... for business ... good idea  to have two modules like that so only need to develop dotter board for each CPU...

  I like that idea. 
  I was also considering another popular format with a larger (cheap)
  2-layer board with all the I/O interfaces , regulators etc, and a small
  (not so cheap) 4 or 6 layer removable daughtercard for the CPU, core
  logic and memory, since you need that many layers for the BGA's anyways.
  I've seen a few like that using SO-DIMM connectors for the "core" card,
  but I'm not sure how many people feel comfortable prototyping their own
  system card with the SO-DIMM interface on it. Any opinions on that ?


  Thanks
