A few possibilities:
  • despite the name, this chip isn't as low-end as the M1 was, and adds features like four (say) monitors, four Thunderbolt ports, and eGPU support (I'm not sure if this one is even a hardware limitation or simply a software feature waiting to be ported). Meanwhile, the current M1 Macs stay on the M1 for a while, and perhaps move downward in price, slightly.
  • the rumor is slightly inaccurate/incomplete, in that the real story is that this is a whole family of M2 CPUs, e.g. M2L, M2, M2X.
