    Cool, but Apple didn't announce any M6 Pro yet, so where is this coming from?

      I thought they were skipping the M6 pro chips (or is that just the max and ultra?) to accelerate AI focused M7.

        This was just rumors like 99% of other Apple-related news.

          Speaking of rumours, Apple is reportedly developing a server box with multiple top of the line chips.

          I would love to see macOS replacing Windows in virtual desktop environments.

            We know they have them for internal use, it seems crazy they won’t sell a box with, 2 or 4 or 8 or 10 Ultras crammed in.

        The word was that they weren't going to ship systems with the M6 Pro, Max or Ultra.

        The M7 generation has updated the tensor instructions in the GPU cores and they want to ship that ASAP.

          I haven’t heard about the updated tensor instructions before - got any sources?

        If they’re rushing the M7, it’s possible the M6 Pro and Max will be MacBook Ultra only. It would certainly give it quite a halo.
