>I wonder if they'll just do 4x M1 Max for that.

They'll be running out of names for that thing. M1 Ultra II would be lame, so M1 Extreme? M1 Steve?

Just need to increment the 1 instead... Eventually moving into using letters instead of numbers, until we end up with the MK-ULTRA chip.

I suspect they will have a different naming convention after they get to M4.

There might be some hesitance installing an M5. You should stay out of the way if the machine learning core needs more power.

I guess by the time they get to M5, anyone old enough to get the reference will have retired.

That would really be a trip!

> M1 Steve

That would be the funniest thing Apple has done in years. I totally support the idea.

Pro < Max < Ultra < Ne Plus Ultra < Steve
Re:Apple M1 Ultra by jhgb on Tuesday March 08, 2022 @03:39PM (#30606523)
And Steve < Woz, perhaps?

I'm pretty sure all their messaging is preparing us for "M1 Outrageous"

"M1 More", would show Apple is fun again!

It seems kind of strange to have the "A" line go from smartphones to... iPads, and then have the "M" line go all the way from thin-and-lights proper workstations. Maybe they need a new letter. Call it the C1 -- "C" for compute, but also for Cupertino.

M1 Max Pro... :P

"iPhone 14 Pro Max, powered by the M1 Max Pro".

Just get the guys who came up with the new name for the iPhone SE working on it. Oh, wait.
Re:Apple M1 Ultra by concinds on Tuesday March 08, 2022 @03:01PM (#30605946)
I like "X1" way more than "M2 Extreme".
Re:Apple M1 Ultra by dehrmann on Wednesday March 09, 2022 @01:27AM (#30611511)
Plus Ultra would at have historical precedent.

I like M1 Steve, as it can honor two people.

lol, good one! I hope marketing sees this.
Re:Apple M1 Ultra by rpmisms on Tuesday March 08, 2022 @03:17PM (#30606239)
Steve would be awesome, but a deal with Tesla to use "Plaid" would be perfection.
Re:Apple M1 Ultra by KerrAvon on Tuesday March 08, 2022 @03:43PM (#30606596)
I would think they could just go to Mel Brooks instead of dealing with Tesla.
