Apple today unveiled a new 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro. With powerful M5, the 14-inch MacBook Pro gets even faster, more capable, and delivers a huge leap in AI performance. The M5 chip features a next-generation GPU with a Neural Accelerator in each core, delivering up to 3.5x the AI performance and up to 1.6x faster graphics than the previous generation. M5 also includes a faster and more efficient CPU, an enhanced Neural Engine, and higher memory bandwidth that accelerates everything from launching apps to running large language models (LLMs) on device. Additionally, it offers phenomenal battery life of up to 24 hours, so users can take their pro workflows anywhere. With the latest storage technology, the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 brings faster SSD performance than the previous generation for tasks like importing RAW image files or exporting large videos. Renowned features — including a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display with a nano-texture option, a 12MP Center Stage camera, a six-speaker sound system, a wide array of ports, Apple Intelligence capabilities, and the unrivaled power of macOS Tahoe — complete the MacBook Pro experience. Altogether, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 delivers an industry-leading combination of capabilities for the same starting price of $1,599 — making it an even better value and upgrade for current and new Mac users. Available in space black and silver, the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 is available to pre-order today, with availability beginning Wednesday, October 22nd.
“MacBook Pro continues to be the world’s best pro laptop, and today, the 14-inch MacBook Pro gets even better with the arrival of the M5 chip,” said John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, in a statement. “M5 marks the next big leap in AI for the Mac and delivers a huge boost in graphics performance, accelerating demanding workflows for everyone from students to creatives, developers to business professionals, and more. With its amazing performance, extraordinary battery life, and unrivaled display, M5 takes the new 14-inch MacBook Pro to another level.” M5: The Next Big Leap in AI for the Mac Apple silicon leads the industry with blazing performance, advanced technologies, power efficiency, and AI capabilities. With its advanced CPU, GPU, and faster Neural Engine, M5 propels the capabilities of the new 14-inch MacBook Pro even higher and takes the next big leap in AI for the Mac. Featuring a next-generation 10-core GPU — with a Neural Accelerator in each core — it delivers up to 3.5x faster AI performance than M4, and up to 6x faster performance than M1. From college students transcribing lecture notes, to creators storyboarding a new project with AI tools, to business users uncovering insights by running local models in webAI, the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 is the ultimate laptop for everyday AI workflows and so much more. Users will experience faster text-to-image generation when running diffusion models in apps like Draw Things, and LLMs will run even faster in popular apps like LM Studio. The M5 chip also speeds up a wide variety of pro workflows, like deep learning, data modeling, and AI video enhancement. A faster 16-core Neural Engine further accelerates on-device, AI-driven tasks and enhances performance of the generative models that power Apple Intelligence. Additionally, with up to 2x faster SSD performance than the prior generation, the new 14-inch MacBook Pro lets users load a local LLM faster, and they can now choose up to 4TB of storage. Next-Level Performance with M5 The M5 chip also brings even faster systemwide performance and more capabilities to the 14-inch MacBook Pro. With the new GPU in M5, the 14-inch MacBook Pro delivers up to 1.6x faster graphics performance in pro apps and enables up to 1.6x higher frame rates in games compared to the M4 model. The M5 CPU features the world’s fastest CPU core for even more responsiveness. The 10-core design delivers up to 20 percent faster multithreaded performance versus M4 for workloads like code compiling, and is perfect for multitasking or speeding through creative applications. The new 14-inch MacBook Pro is great for data analysts querying databases in Python and for professionals like product designers, who routinely multitask across applications like Rhino, Notion, and Jira. Additionally, with over 150GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, users can work with large AI models on device or manipulate massive scenes in 3D apps. 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 delivers: • Up to 7.7x faster AI video-enhancing performance in Topaz Video when compared to the 13‑inch MacBook Pro with M1, and up to 1.8x faster than the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4. A Breakthrough for M1 and Intel-Based Upgraders With game-changing improvements over Intel-based and M1 models, there’s never been a better time to upgrade or switch to a 14-inch MacBook Pro. • Staggering performance gains: The new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 is a big upgrade. When compared to Intel-based systems, it delivers up to 86x faster AI performance, up to 30x faster GPU performance with ray tracing, and up to 5.5x faster CPU performance.1 M1 upgraders will experience up to 6x faster AI performance, up to 6.8x faster GPU performance with ray tracing, and up to 2x faster CPU performance. • Phenomenal battery life: Battery life soars up to 14 additional hours for Intel-based upgraders, and up to four more hours for users coming from M1, delivering up to 24 hours overall, so users can get more done on a single charge.1 And unlike many PC laptops, MacBook Pro delivers the same incredible performance whether plugged in or on battery. New Mac users and upgraders coming from Intel-based and M1 systems can also take advantage of fast charge to charge up to 50 percent in just 30 minutes using a 96W or higher USB-C power adapter. • Industry-leading Liquid Retina XDR display: Upgraders will enjoy the 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with a nano-texture option, which offers 1600 nits peak HDR brightness and up to 1000 nits of brightness for SDR content. Upgraders will also be able to drive up to two high-resolution external displays. • Advanced camera, mics, and speakers: With an advanced 12MP Center Stage camera and studio-quality mics, upgraders will look and sound their best while taking calls. They will also experience an immersive six-speaker sound system with support for Spatial Audio. • Powerful Apple Intelligence capabilities: Built seamlessly into macOS with groundbreaking privacy, Apple Intelligence provides both upgraders and new Mac users with intuitive features that make their Mac experience even more helpful and powerful. • Even more value: Users coming from Intel-based and M1 systems will also get 16GB of starting unified memory, an additional Thunderbolt port, and the space black finish with an anodization seal. An Unrivaled Experience with macOS Tahoe The new 14-inch MacBook Pro comes to life with the beautifully designed macOS Tahoe, which delivers powerful features to maximize productivity. Major updates to Spotlight make it easier to find relevant apps and files and immediately take action — like sending an email or creating a note — right from the search bar. With Continuity, business users can use the new Phone app to conveniently access their Recents, Contacts, and Voicemails, and make calls directly from their Mac. And with Live Activities from iPhone, users can stay on top of things happening in real time, like an upcoming flight. The new design featuring Liquid Glass offers users even more ways to personalize their Mac with an updated Control Center and new color options for folders, app icons, and widgets. And the menu bar is now completely transparent, making the display feel even larger. Apple Intelligence also expands with powerful new features that elevate the Mac experience further, while protecting privacy at every step. Integrated into Messages, FaceTime, and the Phone app, Live Translation helps users easily communicate across languages, translating text and audio. Shortcuts get even more powerful with intelligent actions and the ability to tap directly into Apple Intelligence models, so users can automate complex tasks like sorting through photos. Additionally, developers can bring Apple Intelligence capabilities into their applications, or tap into the underlying Foundations Model framework for specialized intelligence tasks on device. 14-Inch MacBook Pro with M5 and the Environment Apple 2030 is the company’s ambitious plan to be carbon neutral across its entire footprint by the end of this decade by reducing product emissions from their three biggest sources: materials, electricity, and transportation.
