Don't you think "M" is just for "Mac"?

• grecy 6y ago
  It sure could be, but I'll be shocked if they have their current M1 in the $999 MacBookAir and something still called "M1(x)" in the Mac Pro that has 128+ cores and >128GB RAM, etc. etc. IMO, that's a totally different product, and it needs a different naming convention. But I'm just guessing.

    They put an M1 in a mac mini, I think it just stands for Mac. "M2 Max" or something is exactly what I expect for their next desktop chip name

      I suspect M stands for Mac, but it's fair to note that the Mini (and iMac) were using mobile (laptop) hardware previously, so it's certainly plausible that M stands for mobile.

        The Intel Mac Mini and iMac both use Intel's desktop chip line, with 65 watt TDP.

          Huh, I stand corrected, thanks. Did that change at some point or have I been consistently wrong?

            That I don't know! Except the original Bondi iMac definitely was laptop parts.

    I think you are right in the P series, that would make a bunch of sense
