A new report from Taiwan's Commercial Times suggests Apple may still be developing M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, contradicting earlier claims that the company had shifted focus to the M7 family. These high-end processors would utilize TSMC's advanced N2 process.
The report highlights the potential use of Fusion Architecture and advanced packaging like SoIC-MH and WMCM. These technologies increase interconnect density and integrate logic dies with LPDDR memory. TSMC is reportedly expanding WMCM capacity for 2026.
If these plans proceed, the M6 Pro and M6 Max would be among the first laptop chips built on the N2 node. This development is significant for future MacBook Pro models, which Mark Gurman previously linked to a major OLED redesign and potential rebranding.
