"Apple's choice of processors may depend on how dramatically it redesigns the MacBook Pro next year. Rumors have persisted that Apple is working on ultra-thin models that may represent a complete overhaul of some of the MacBook Pro models, making them more Air-like in design. VR-Zone notes that the TDPs on these processors are programmable, so Apple may be able to reduce their TDPs at the expense of processor speed."

Even if Apple decides to basically drop the MBP and make everything based off the Air, it will probably be a good 6-12 months before the sales channel dries up with the old style units. So, you may as well just wait and see. If they do something that you're not going to like, you can run out to just about any store and still get your hands on the older model.
