Will the torque/power of the Bosch Gen 5 increase this year with a software update?

I heard a bike industry guy predict that they would bump it up to 100+ Nm this year to compete with the DJI Avinox. I don't know if he was just speculating or he had insider knowledge. (He sold bikes with Bosch so it's also possible he was intentionally spreading misinformation.) This is...

Francis from emtb reviews (Youtube channel) said on YT that he's heard from a bunch of insiders that the upgrade is imminent, either April or May. Maybe 100nm or something in that range. I WILL say that my CX Race motor feels more powerful than my CX Gen 5 in all support modes.

I heard May 1 for the new display and update to 100 Nm, plus a few more Watts. But I also heard June 1.

I'd love to hear 28mph top speed as well!
