PhoneNews is claiming that Apple is preparing to release a revision of the MacBook Air with a faster processor.

The site reports that the external appearance will stay the same but the new MacBook Air will feature a Penryn processor at speeds of 2.0GHz and above. The new MacBook Air is also said to include a higher capacity battery.

the CPU will be able to dramatically increase, from 2.0 GHz and potentially beyond. As such however, power drain will increase. Apple will curb that constraint with a higher-capacity battery. However, we can confirm that the new MacBook Air will require a 60W power adapter to fully charge, much like the current MacBook family.

The site also notes that he MacBook Air hard drive will “likely” be upgraded to 120GB as standard and add an optional 160GB.
