I'd imagine you'd get a similar situation to the ipads where the X chip is far superior in the same gen eg:

iMac - m2 chip + max out at 64 gig ram

iMac Pro - m2x chip + max out at 256 gig ram

Hmm the X Chip difference makes sense, because they are the same chip with the regular one built to be mobile. But in case of M2, the same distinction doesn't make sense because they are built for larger devices by default. Though I guess, they could have two completely separate chips and just use the X as convention.

You’re arguing about naming conventions for a product that hasn’t been released, and where names are all speculative. What you think is an m1x may be called an m2, or a m2x or a dp2fgh.
