I think there is a decent chance of a new 16" being released around the time of Monterey. Based on the lack of an M1x (just an M1 with more cores) showing up by today, I suspect that it doesn't be exist and probably never existed. At this point Apple will go straight to the M2 (next gen cpu/gpu archtecture). Because Apple has a very regular release cadence for their A-series SoCs of about 1 year, I don't think we will see the M2 launched until closer to the A15's expected release date of September/October. They shouldn't need to stockpile the M2 as much as they need to stockpile the A15, so I'm hoping for an August launch.
