If they make it, it will probably be larger than 2000mm^2.
The M1 Ultra is about 860mm^2 and this is two of those, except the M2 is larger than the M1.

The RTX 4090 is 608mm^2.

A full-spec machine likely won't be far from that. And yes expect ridiculous accessories, like the wheels you mentioned or a $500 cleaning cloth.

Apple must be confident with the production yields. THESE will be big chips, and it'd be a bit sickening to throw flawed ones on a regular basis.

The M2 Pro/Max/Ultra is rumored to be on the 3 NM node, so the die size might be less than the 860 the M1 Ultra was. If the rumors are true of course.
