I have MacBook Pro latest 2013 15" Retina and I would like new one on next December, 16" for high performance.
What do you think ? It's good Time to buy new model because I read it will arrive M6/M7 ?
 
This December, we can expect M6. Next December should be M7.

Given M6 Pro/Max is being skipped, it likely means the M6 architecture has been deemed out of date or simply not good enough by Apple. Hence the need to speed up M7 release.

Wait for M7.

M7 with OLED display could be a big jump for a young technology, that is could be experimental step for buyers
 
The best time to buy a new computer is when your old one stops doing what you need it to do well enough for you. If you are still on a 2013 your computing needs must be very moderate and I don't see how an M5 vs. M6 or M7 could make an important difference. Unless your computing needs are changing, but you did not mention anything of that kind. Heck, for "high performance" an M1 would run circles around what you have without breaking a sweat.

Not to mention potential further price increases due to the AI RAM/SSD nonsense.

That's certainly the wild card in this whole thing.

The thought process when dealing with high inflation is buy sooner then later, because later will be more expensive. That does fly in the face of if you can wait (to buy), then wait.

I uso Vmware Fusion with 4/5 virtual machines Windows/Linux, my applications are not able to get updates, browsers has issue to show html pages, I changed battery 3 times, I use Matlab and sometimes Autocad.
I'm looking for a long-lasting notebook with a long lifespan with maximum wide screen
 
Sounds like the old MacBook Pro has served you well but it's time to retire it. As for when, it depends on how urgently you need to replace it and how important it is for you to chase after the latest and greatest. Also consider the risk of hardware prices increasing again, like what we saw recently, if you wait too long.

Why December? (Is it a Christmas present?)

We might see new M6 models in October or so this year.

But frankly, a good M5 now will be lightyears ahead of what you have, and more than enough for your needs. However, running VMs with Windows and Linux might be complicated, because it's not an x86-64 CPU anymore.

I thought December because It's said new models will arrive to end of year

The truth is, everybody is guessing and speculating. The only people who might know when new models will be released are Apple employees that are not allowed to say anything. Nobody here really knows when new MacBook Pros will arrive and what they will cost. Unless somebody here is much better with a crystal ball than I am.
 
maybe I’m off base here, but if you are actually still using as your daily machine a 13 year old MacBook Pro, you probably don’t even need a MacBook Pro anymore.
Check out the 15 inch MacBook Air, it’s less than half the cost of the 16 inch MacBook Pro, and still absolutely destroys in every single metric your 2013.
It’s also almost 2 LB lighter.
