M2 Pro/Max chips will be huge. Only the ultra is using an interconnect between dies, but that's two full max dies. M1 Max is 432 mm^2, that's enormous. M2 is 25% bigger than M1.
There's not a lot of lower core count SKUs for these chips either. There's a few GPU tiers and CPUs tiers but not lots of room to go down. Pro has 8/10 CPU cores and 14/16 GPUs. Max is 10 CPU and 24/32 GPU.
There is no 4-7 CPU core segments like AMD does with their chiplets. Intel has much lower tiers for their dies.
The dies are just huge huge huge.
