If so, they should've added M2 tag as well, which I think more people refer the Pro level CPU to be. At least an attempt to disguise the actual name of the CPU.
Got a tip for us?

Poor Prosser is getting all the flack of a bunch of angry people that want to order a new Mac lol
I mean... you're entirely wrong. He's actually 78% accurate... just because he gets the occasional thing wrong doesn't mean he's not reliable on occasion.
But there was no realistic expectation of it being announced Monday. It's almost certain Apple will release updated MacBook Pros this year. The only question is when.
Why not just “hot singles in your area”, then? I think the hypothesis is quite reasonable. People searching for M1X want to know what’s new on the Mac forefront, and this video is that. Yes, it doesn’t talk about new hardware, but then, Apple is famous for not talking about new hardware in existing product lines until they’re ready to take orders. Adding “apple-car” or “ar-glasses” would be a deliberate wild misdirect (as would using a thumbnail of a woman in a bikini), given that Apple doesn’t make cars or AR glasses and has given no public indication that they’re going to. “M1X” is a shorthand people are using for near future Mac products. Much closer to the target.
Because that's much more of a stretch?
Well, that used to be the case under Jobs, but in recent years, most (or at least many) hardware announcements are no longer "available for order today" but "available for pre-order in a few weeks for some reason".
I can see that, but… that's a lot of tealeaf-reading.
I really hope we don't go back there again. The naming of the 'iPhone XS Max' still scars me.
He’s also been spot on about other things. He released a mock-up of airtags months and months before they were announced. He also released mock-ups of the airpods max. And they were both crazy accurate too. There’s no way you can get that close without having some connections at Apple.
Problem for him is release dates. Don’t trust prosser on release dates. Product features and design he’s been very accurate on.

I think many of us are also tired of reading comments about how bad Prosser is!
Plus, there's this.
Good point, Nev! Let's go one better. While Prosser may get some things wrong, most of the time he's accurate! It's just that some others do slightly better to much better in their predictions.
Furthermore, while Prosser said they'd be announced at WWDC, he also said they'd shipping later. See, e.g., New 14/16" MacBook Pros Confirmed for WWDC 21 | by Matt ...
Also have to laugh over the more accurate predictors who have said they'd be coming in the "second half of the year" -- but that begins July 1 and goes to December 31, a HUGE time frame. My own prediction is that we will, eventually, see them! I'm likely to be 100% accurate in that!

If that's the CPU Monkey "leak", you should be aware they have a long history of posting placeholder guesstimates on their site that turn out to be flat wrong.
BTW, we can assume they have no information here too, because they have also posted an M2 "leak", which turns out to be the exact same guess as their M1X numbers.

BTW, Mark Gurman says it's gonna be 10 cores not 12. We all just assumed 12 because we thought it would have the same 4 efficiency cores as M1, plus 8 performance cores, but he claims it will be 2+8 instead.

Ok, Prosser’s ALT.
but for real, that website is misleading because:
A) tons of his stuff is yellow as it’s “pending” due to the fact that he doesn’t put a date on it, just throws it against the board and says “it’s coming” so he’s not technically wrong unless apple comes out and says it isn’t. (Remember his debacle with AirPower last year?)
B) He also regurgitates what other leakers share so it brings that score up much higher.
for things that HE “leaks” and is the sole source on, he’s a coin flip, at best.
I can agree to that. He does have some connections but between being far less accurate than Gurman and LovetoDream combined with his incredibly arrogant and pompous personality means a lot of people are over his “leaks”.
he’s not nearly as accurate as others in the industry.
I agree with everything except your last statement. It's nobody's business when I upgrade. Saying I shouldn't feels a bit creepy; kind of like you're trying to be my dad.
My expectations are not too high. Except when they are.
You see, I wanted world peace, other men to stop peeing on the toilet seat, and better education for everybody's children. It appears I'll get not a single one of those things, so apparently my expectations are indeed too high. And I'm really disappointed by that toilet seat thing...
Words I hope I never have to say to a lady!
They do. Except when they develop for Containers, VMs, or when they use Java, right?
I spotted it before it even happened, so there. My quantum mind at work. For my next trick, I'm going to pull a cat out of this box...
They could have REALLY torqued with this forum if they also included M3, M4, and then M6, followed by M6XX and M6XY, then followed by M23 and a quick patent application for MacOS DNA. Everybody here would be losing their minds!
If he were a baseball player, that would be a .780 batting average. He'd be an All-Star, MVP, Most-Improved, and Designated Hitter. They would be having Prosser Double Header days, with peanuts and beer half-off in the second game!
Instead, he gets to have this forum throw dung at his image, whenever we're not screeching and beating our chests, that is. Figuratively speaking. Maybe.

Actually he's 73% accurate and its more than the occasional thing wrong. And that 73% is mostly stuff that he just regurgitates from other leakers. He rarely starts a rumor that he is correct on.
