Apple has announced its next-generation M5 chip, delivering what it calls the biggest leap in AI performance yet for Apple silicon.
Built using third-generation 3-nanometer technology, the M5 introduces a redesigned 10-core GPU with a Neural Accelerator in every core, boosting AI processing by more than 4x compared to the M4. The new GPU also delivers up to 45% faster graphics performance and includes third-generation ray tracing for more realistic lighting and reflections in games and creative applications.
Apple says the M5’s 10-core CPU includes the world’s fastest performance cores and delivers up to 15% faster multithreaded performance than the M4, while a faster 16-core Neural Engine and nearly 30% higher memory bandwidth push overall system performance even further.
The M5 will power the latest 14-inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Apple Vision Pro, bringing faster AI workflows, improved graphics, and greater efficiency across all three devices.
Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Technologies, said: “With the introduction of Neural Accelerators in the GPU, M5 delivers a huge boost to AI workloads. Combined with the world’s fastest CPU core, a faster Neural Engine, and higher memory bandwidth, M5 brings far more performance and capability to every device it powers.”
The M5’s unified memory system now supports up to 153GB/s bandwidth, enabling larger on-device AI models to run directly on Mac, iPad, and Vision Pro without reliance on the cloud.
According to Apple, the new chip is also more power-efficient, contributing to the company’s ongoing goal of making its entire product range carbon neutral by 2030.
