Why would it? Each generation of the M series has an architectural improvement on their chipsets. The difference between an M1 and an M1 Pro is the allocation and arrangement not the architecture. M6 to M7 presumably will have architectural changes.
- knollimar 4mo agoIs the point that M6 doesn't exist? What change are they making that justifies M5 to M7? Or did this announcement also add an M6 chip, and they're just skipping pro?

- Kirby64 4mo agoThis is no different than them skipping the “Ultra” chips on some generations. The only real difference is it going all the way down to skipping the “Pro” line. So, only the MacBook Air, low end MBP, and maybe the iPad Pro and Mac Mini get the M6.
