I believe the Event video stated that it could also charge from any of the USB-C ports...?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Announces M1 Pro and M1 Max Chips Designed for New MacBook Pro

Yes they can be charged from USB-C via the USB4 ports.
However, it’s not really a massive issue as the cable is a USB-C to MagSafe anyway.
Can they realistically bring these chips over to the iPad Pro? Will need a full teardown video to see how these beasts are cooled.
Hope springs eternal...
How about the 'new iMac'? There wasn't a new iMac released either.
Doubtful, unless you want big heat sinks, and fans. Obviously not as large as for a normal desktop processor, but I'd bet they put out some heat...
But it would definitely be 'The Surface Killer'!
I would expect a M1 Pro / M1 Max powered larger (???-27"/30"/32"-???) iMac in Spring of 2022, much like the new 24" M1 powered iMac was released in Spring of this year...Hope springs eternal...

So do I! I getting impatient long wait. My old iMac is still working fine but I want new Apple Silicon chip and I want use latest OS with all new features etc (my iMac cannot).But, I WANT A NEW IMAC!!!
Even if software can build on multiple operating systems, it is never exactly the same between them. So as one lifelong developer to another, if you want to ensure that what you're building is going to work the same when shipped to another OS, then invest in virtualization. Docker is one such option with a very robust ecosystem.why is that ?! i'm using macs for 15 years now to do everything i need to do after apple decided to switch from powerpc to intel. the decision to switch from intel to arm is, well, apple's decision and as i said, i'm happy to get my last intel mbp in the next couple of days. for the next couple of years i will have nothing to complain about and i'm happy for all of you that don't sit in my boat but if things don't change (and i know they won't), i will need to switch my mobile platform in a couple of years anyways.
there's more than just windows or macos out there. it's esxi, citrix, special bsd's, x86-virtualization in general and so so many api's with libraries for just windows - i earn my money with almost every platform out there and as of today i was able to do so with any mac out there. the switch to arm simply hinders me or rather "disables" me completely.
but that's fine. no worries here. i'm just commenting
Yes. That's s safe assumption, now that M1 graphics run circles around discrete chips. You've probably forgotten, but in the early days of microcomputing, many functions of a computer sat outside the CPU in discrete packages–memory management, real-time clocks, floating point arithmetic, bus management. Now those functions are all integrated. Add graphics to the list.
docker is containerization (long time lxc / lxd user here; the tech where docker derived from) and not a hypervisor, so yes, i do know where you are coming from. and i know that there are mssql docker containers out there but microsoft still uses SQLPAL wich is an abstraction layer to do what a native mssql server does. and again, i still won't be able to develop for the x86 platform with the m1's anymore - let aside disassemble or properly debug any code for those platforms.
with my intel-mbp however, i was and will be in no trouble to do all of this on one piece of hardware. it's a one fits it all device. that's where i am coming from.
and last but not least, i can't virtualize esxi either with m1's and since i'm building infrastructures, i need that capability, too. but yet again, just another no go.

m1 PRO and MAX naming will make it very easy for people to understand the difference which one is better.
may I ask why you want high end cpu in a mini? Usually pro work people go for iMac or Mac Pro. The Mini was made as an entry level bare bones mac for PC users. I am honestly asking.

A good balance between price, form factor, modularity and performance. I have a 2010 Pro right now and it doubles nicely as a gaming PC, but it's huge and heavy and puts out tons of heat. Honestly an M1 Mini would do just fine. But I could see my projects requiring more than 16GB of RAM, and the ability to control the peripherals (keyboard, monitor, etc).
