>I wonder if they'll just do 4x M1 Max for that.

They'll be running out of names for that thing. M1 Ultra II would be lame, so M1 Extreme? M1 Steve?

Just need to increment the 1 instead... Eventually moving into using letters instead of numbers, until we end up with the MK-ULTRA chip.

I suspect they will have a different naming convention after they get to M4.

There might be some hesitance installing an M5. You should stay out of the way if the machine learning core needs more power.

I guess by the time they get to M5, anyone old enough to get the reference will have retired.

That would really be a trip!

> M1 Steve

That would be the funniest thing Apple has done in years. I totally support the idea.

Pro < Max < Ultra < Ne Plus Ultra < Steve

And Steve < Woz, perhaps?

I'm pretty sure all their messaging is preparing us for "M1 Outrageous"

Super M1 Turbo HD Remix

M1 Ludicrous the IV

Maximum Plaid

"M1 More", would show Apple is fun again!

It seems kind of strange to have the "A" line go from smartphones to... iPads, and then have the "M" line go all the way from thin-and-lights proper workstations. Maybe they need a new letter. Call it the C1 -- "C" for compute, but also for Cupertino.

M1 Max Pro... :P

"iPhone 14 Pro Max, powered by the M1 Max Pro".

M1 Hyper or M1 Ludicrous:)

M1 Houndstooth

M1 God

Just get the guys who came up with the new name for the iPhone SE working on it. Oh, wait.

I like "X1" way more than "M2 Extreme".

Plus Ultra would at have historical precedent.

I like M1 Steve, as it can honor two people.

M1 Plaid

lol, good one! I hope marketing sees this.

Steve would be awesome, but a deal with Tesla to use "Plaid" would be perfection.

Never happen.

Elon is somewhat toxic these days...

I would think they could just go to Mel Brooks instead of dealing with Tesla.

iM1 Pro.

M1 Magnum XL

Epic M1 fit good

M1 Greta in 2030 (when it is "carbon neutral")
