Their entire current lineup has all 8 cores plus 7 or 8 GPU cores too.

I was thinking that they'd sell a 6-core M1 in the AppleTV, but I guess that's not happening and the package is too big to go in a phone. Given their die size and even amazing return rates, there are hundreds of thousands of m1 chips that simply aren't being used. That seems like a lot of waste for a company that talks about going green. Maybe they have another project in the works.

Apple ships hundreds of millions of iPhones that has Axx chip with full CPU cores for all SKUs. Much smaller amount of M1 would be dropped than A14.
