Intel's ultra low voltage Sandy Bridge CPUs bound for MacBook Air?

<!--CONTENT START--><br/><br/><img alt="" class="alignnone" height="149" src="http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/3804/macbookairupgrade.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; margin: 0px;" width="318" /><br/><br/>The MacBook Air, while extremely popular, is one of the last lines of Apple computers not yet sporting a low power consumption Sandy Bridge processor by Intel -- the line is still running on the Core 2 Duo CPU, and while that's certainly a fast model, it's not quite the latest and greatest out there. But don't worry -- Intel has announced that it will be bringing out a new Sandy Bridge processor sometime very soon, and that's the same one expected to go into the new MacBook Air models by the end of the summer.<br/><br/>The best of these models, says Hardmac, is the Core i7 2657M, sporting dual cores running at 1.6 GHz and a turbo mode up to 2.7 GHz, lining up the MacBook Air with the low-end MacBook Pro. That's one spicy meatball! Of course, none of this is confirmed until we actually see the hardware in action, but if you want a faster MBA and can wait until June, you might want to see what Apple and Intel have in store for the next generation of the extremely thin little powerhouse computer.
