Models 3001A/B is already in stores:
Some peeps at NeoGAF have gotten theirs and they echo the article by saying it is a lot quieter and cooler to the touch than the last Slim model (since it uses less energy to run than before).

Earlier this year a mysterious FCC filing by Sony revealed new PS3 models labeled CECH-3001A/B. Previously manufactured PS3s were labeled as part of the CECH 2xxx series, but the new generation of PS3s have begun shipping to customers and these new models come with some changes that help the consumer.
Customers have started receiving these new PS3 units and have taken note of some changes they have noticed over their previous models, some of which include: A black trim below the disc drive, LEDs have been removed on the system except for the HDD indicator, and the system appears to run much quieter when compared to the CECH-2xxx series. These new slims also use less energy than previous models -- additional details can be found here.
Amazon began shipping the new generation PS3 earlier this week to customers -- so if you ordered recently you may have a new model. As we reported last week, Sony posted images of, what appeared to be, the CECH 3000-B model from Japan. If you are in the market for a new PS3, now is fine a time to purchase one of the newer models, though there is a chance Sony may announce a price drop during Gamescom later this month.
