Apple Silicon CPU roadmap skips M6 Pro and Max to accelerate M7 on device AI functionality

Apple reorganizes CPU plan skipping M6 Pro and Max to accelerate M7 generations for on device AI and leadership changes under Johny Srouji

Apple is making a sweeping reorganization of its in house CPU generational plan in order to hasten the availability of on device AI functionality. Bloomberg has broken down the 1st steps of this "revolution" in a detailed report 2 indicating that the company will launch a more modest entry level M6 base processor for the lower end systems while completely omitting the intermediate Pro & Max alternatives for that generation. It will be the 1st time since transitioning to Apple Silicon that the consumer line will not be sold with all of the available chip variants for an active generation.
