I said quad-Jade Mac anythings aren't coming because that die is only designed to go in pairs (that's the M1 Max die). Everyone keeps rambling on about that idea because that Bloomberg reporter said it was coming and got it wrong. It won't happen.
Apple certainly can and probably will do quad dies at some point, it'll just be with a new die. The IRQ controller in Jade is only synthesized for two dies, but the architecture scales up to 8 with existing drivers (in our Linux driver too). I fully expect them to be planning a crazier design to use for Mac Pros.
