The M1 family already can only sustain 3.2GHz with only one core per cluster active, so there is some bottleneck there, either due to power dissipation/density or power delivery. If the latter, upping the voltage would give you more oomph, but that comes with diminishing returns. I wouldn't expect Apple to give the chips more than a trivial clock bump (3.4?) this generation, if that.
