Any word on when the X100e will get the 2010 CPUs?

I've got half a mind to ditch my Aspire One for an X100e... but I'm not sure I want the current CPUs.
It appears that the Nile platform's CPUs use 3 W less for a given speed grade (and they get a 100 MHz clock speed bump and more cache at each speed grade, too,) although I've seen something saying that the chipset uses 3 W more.
So, when will the X100e (or a successor) get the Nile platform, or just the CPUs on the old chipset (which I'd actually prefer)? I figure there's no good reason to keep using the old CPUs.
