CUPERTINO, October 15 — Apple has officially launched its next-generation M5 chip, marking a major leap in artificial intelligence and graphics performance for Apple silicon.
Built on third-generation 3-nanometer technology, the M5 features a new 10-core GPU architecture with Neural Accelerators embedded in each core — delivering over four times the peak GPU compute performance for AI compared to the M4.
The chip also introduces a faster 10-core CPU, an enhanced 16-core Neural Engine, and a nearly 30 percent boost in unified memory bandwidth to 153GB/s, making it the most advanced and efficient chip in Apple’s lineup.
Apple Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies Johny Srouji said the M5 represents “the next big leap in AI performance for Apple silicon,” combining industry-leading efficiency with raw power to drive Apple Intelligence and on-device AI experiences.
The M5 chip debuts in the new 14-inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Apple Vision Pro — all available for pre-order today — offering users unprecedented AI processing, faster creative workflows, and smoother graphics for professional and immersive applications.
