These are the specs on the intel site.

X25-V 40Gb

Sequential read speed: 170mb/s
Sequential write speed: 35mb/s (!!!)
Random read speed 4K: 25K IOPS
Random write speed 4K: 2.5K IOPS

read/write latency : 65 micro.s/110 micro.s

For X25-M 80Gb

Sequential read speed: 250mb/s
Sequential write speed: 70mb/s
Random read speed 4K: 35k IOPS
Random write speed 4K: 6.6K IOPS

read/write latency : 65 micro.s/85 micro.s

Which leads me to believe that it uses 5 x 8Gb NAND chips, just like the Kingston 40Gb released 2 months ago. The X25-V will also come with TRIM support. Can anyone tell me how the above specs will translate to real life difference?

It should be nearly identical to the Kingston 40GB in performance.
