Such silly names and this is what happens when you let a marketing dept dictate this stuff. It needs somebody with enough authority to kill this nonsense before it grows. Steve would never allow Apple chips to be called such silly names. I mean, "M1 Pro Max". Come on, this is a joke right?

This is what happened with the M1 announcement. Everybody was stunned and ooohed and aaaahed then went back to the x86 world and continued as thought nothing happened.

This whole M1 Pro M1 Max or M1 Pro Max sounds like marketing terms already.
Marketing names… who cares. Specs! Benchmarks! Bring it!
So the next iPad will be called the "M1 Max-iPad Pro Plus"
Who cares what the chips are called…..is it any less weird than what intel Names their chips? Actually sounds like better marketing to put a pro name on a chip for………… pro devices.
Mark Gur said today
"If Apple wants to give each chip its own name, “M1X” and “M1Z,” with the Z signifying the option with better graphics performance, is a possibility. That would match the 2020 iPad Pro strategy. That iPad had the same CPU as the 2018 iPad Pro with the A12X chip, but a better GPU. So Apple named the 2020 chip the A12Z."

True, Intel also went with pro in the name at some point. I still remember my pentium pro machine!

Incoming! It will be leak by Apple later today. Be on the look out
Not that it matters what is called, but I think I prefer Pro and Max to X and Z.
Well Pro and Max would be more on brand and recognisable than M1X.
What limitations are you finding? Considering how well apple uses 8gb I can’t see 16gb not being enough. GPU is a pretty big deal because of what can be offloaded to it when rendering.
there’s going to be a day where everything is run from an iPhone. You just plug it into your screen and use it like a workstation.
Whatever the chip names are - I hope Apple launches some entirely amazing new designs that delivers a signifant performance jump.
Every leak so far - maybe a like lukewarm on the notch rumor - points towards a
major macBook year 🥳
27 hours from now, we'll know a lot
