Apple has officially introduced the M5 chip, marking a groundbreaking leap in artificial intelligence and graphics performance for Apple Silicon. Built on third-generation 3-nanometer technology, the M5 transforms what’s possible on the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Apple Vision Pro — all now available for pre-order.
The M5 features a next-generation 10-core GPU with a Neural Accelerator in every core, delivering over 4x the GPU compute performance for AI compared to the M4. It also brings a 45% boost in graphics power with Apple’s third-generation ray-tracing engine, enabling ultra-realistic visuals and faster rendering in creative and gaming applications.
Under the hood, the 10-core CPU (with six efficiency cores and four performance cores) delivers 15% faster multithreaded performance, while the upgraded 16-core Neural Engine enhances AI-powered workflows and tools across Apple’s ecosystem — from Apple Intelligence features to on-device large language models.
“M5 ushers in the next big leap in AI performance for Apple silicon,” said Johny Srouji, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies. “With Neural Accelerators built into the GPU, M5 delivers incredible AI power, faster graphics, and the world’s fastest CPU core — pushing the boundaries of performance for MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro.”
Apple has also boosted unified memory bandwidth by nearly 30%, reaching 153GB/s, and offers configurations with up to 32GB of memory, allowing for seamless multitasking and running massive AI models directly on the device. Whether it’s Adobe Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, or AI image generation apps, the M5 handles it all with effortless efficiency.
The M5’s GPU and Neural Accelerators are deeply integrated with Apple’s software frameworks such as Core ML, Metal Performance Shaders, and Metal 4, ensuring developers see immediate performance gains without needing to rewrite their code.
In addition to performance gains, the M5 also supports Apple’s Apple 2030 goal — the company’s commitment to achieving full carbon neutrality by the end of the decade. Its power-efficient architecture helps reduce energy consumption across devices while maintaining top-tier performance.
With the Apple M5, the company once again raises the bar for what’s possible in personal computing — combining smarter AI, stronger graphics, and greener technology in one revolutionary chip.
