He doesn't want a whole new chip.

The M1 was hailed as an entry level chip, and merely the start of greater things to come. If that were true, logic would hold that they would have a higher end version of the existing M1 chip available by now.

It's not a different model architecture.

Hailed by whom? I doubt you'll find a single instance of Apple calling M1 an "entry level chip".

It looks like this is the blogosphere getting too high on their own supply, huh?

Not sure about "hailed by", but that perception is probably driven largely by the market position of the Macs Apple put it into first. There is no Mac Mini or Macbook Air that isn't entry level.

Apple announced a two year transition, the two years are not over yet so why should they be out by now?

A new MacBook Pro with M1X will come out this fall according to credible sources.
