Apple has unveiled the latest version of its proprietary processor, the M5 chip. This new chip features significant graphical upgrades and enhanced processing speeds compared to its predecessors. The M5 can be found in the newest generation of some of Apple’s most popular products.
According to a blog post on Apple’s news site, the M5 chip adopts a 10-core GPU architecture that can deliver up to four times the performance of the previous M4 chip. Apple emphasizes that the M5 was “built for AI,” capable of handling heavy AI workloads with ease. This includes running Large Language Models and supporting AI-powered features in creative and workflow applications.
“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 the introduction of Neural Accelerators in the GPU, M5 delivers a huge boost to AI workloads. Combined with a big increase in graphics performance, the world’s fastest CPU core, a faster Neural Engine, and even higher unified memory bandwidth, M5 brings far more performance and capabilities to MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Apple Vision Pro.”
The M5 chip clearly represents a significant technological advancement for Apple, pushing the boundaries of performance and AI integration across its product lineup.
