Venerable leaker LlabTooFeR has just revealed that both Android 6.0.1 and 6.1 are already available in Google’s labs. If things stay on track then we should expect the release of 6.0.1 in the ‘next few months’ with a release of Android 6.1 sometime ‘next year’.

His tweet does not mention his methodology, however he likely used a similar method from when he charted the power efficiencies for the Galaxy S series. These results are interesting given that Google has stated that the Nexus 6P uses the latest generation AMOLED panel from Samsung.
