When does Apple ever announce what will be in a refresh before it happens? If you knew anything at all about Apple or the tech industry you would realize that Apple will have Sandy Bridge in the next MBP. At least the 15" and 17" will.
Excuse you? Why must all of you "geeks" feel the need to talk down to people who simply posted a question/opinion? This is a discussion forum. No one knows the right answers. Not even you.

Haven't all of the SB processors been recalled?

Yep, and they are already working on new ones without the defect - news reports say they should be ready to ship some by the end of the month.
Is that why you think it's not possible that Apple will use them?
The end of the month is 20 days away. Less than three weeks. That leaves Apple with less than two weeks to have the chips installed and have them delivered to all retail locations. I don't see that happening. It's not even logical.
Im not sure if its still an issue, but your also forgetting that the previous gen i3+i5+i7 (not Sandy Bridge) could not fit in the Macbook without using the crappy integrated graphics! The Intel + Nvidia settlement was less than a month ago, so I doubt they would have been able to fix that...
So it would have to be Sandy Bridge or they would have to take out the optical disc drive to fit a graphics card in.
