MacBook Air to Get Sandy Bridge CPU in June?

Apple may be planning to give the MacBook Air a speed bump by updating it with Intel's new Sandy Bridge processor, according to CNET.

Initial shipments of Intel's Sandy Bridge processor were snafued on January 31 by a minor glitch in the accompanying chipset, though the chipmaker will resume shipments of fixed chipsets as early as mid-month. The Sandy Bridge processor itself is not affected.

The MacBook Pros are also rumored to get an update which could come as early as March.
