Apple has launched its next-generation M5 chip, built on a third-generation 3nm process, delivering a breakthrough in AI computing power—quadrupling GPU-based AI performance over the M4 and increasing it more than sixfold compared to the M1.
The M5 integrates neural acceleration units into every GPU core, working alongside an upgraded 16-core Neural Engine to comprehensively accelerate AI workloads. Overall graphics performance rises by 30%, with ray tracing capabilities surging up to 45%. Memory bandwidth also grows to 153GB/s, a near-30% improvement.
The chip now powers the 14-inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Apple Vision Pro, enabling faster creation of spatial photos, personalized Personas, and smoother local execution for Apple Intelligence.
