The rumors I've read so far is that the next chip will be the M1-X, and will be a 12-core CPU, with 8 "high performance" cores and 4 "efficiency" cores, and will be released in a 16" MBP. The current M1, by contrast, has an 8-core CPU (4 HP cores and 4 efficiency cores).

Is this with the 16" rumored first half of next year? I hadn't seen the one you're referring to. I'm contemplating options with my current 2018 15" which is about to receive its 3rd top case replacement (besides other issues), and whether I want to press for a full replacement and how long to wait, as AC expires next June.

I saw that rumor as well. Looks compelling. What I’m holding out for is what they bring to the rumored redesigned 16 inch MacBook Pro and the rumored 14 inch MacBook Pro. I think I’ll choose between one of those.
