Apple this week unveiled its M5 chip which delivers the next big leap in AI performance and advances to nearly every aspect of the chip. Built using third-generation 3-nanometer technology, M5 introduces a next-generation 10-core GPU architecture with a Neural Accelerator in each core, enabling GPU-based AI workloads to run dramatically faster, with over 4x the peak GPU compute performance compared to M4. The GPU also offers enhanced graphics capabilities and third-generation ray tracing that combined deliver a graphics performance that is up to 45 percent higher than M4. M5 features the world’s fastest performance core, with up to a 10-core CPU made up of six efficiency cores and up to four performance cores. Together, they deliver up to 15 percent faster multithreaded performance over M4. M5 also features an improved 16-core Neural Engine, a powerful media engine, and a nearly 30 percent increase in unified memory bandwidth to 153GB/s. Hassam Nasir for Tom’s Hardware:
Sure, the M5 is an impressive bit of silicon, but the real head-turners are going to the be early 2026’s M5 Pro, M5 Max, and, hopefully, eventually, the M5 Ultra. As it is, the new 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro is the perfect road Mac, with plenty of power and battery life for the vast majority of users (at least until the M5 MacBook Air comes along – which we expect will be early next year).
