Apple unveiled the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, powering the new MacBook Pro announced Tuesday. These chips employ a Fusion Architecture integrating two 3nm dies into a single system-on-chip. The 18-core CPU comprises six super cores and twelve performance cores optimized for power-efficient multithreaded performance, delivering 2.5x higher performance versus M1 Pro and M1 Max. The M5 Pro combines this CPU with up to 20-core GPU featuring enhanced shader cores with second-generation dynamic caching and hardware-accelerated mesh shading, offering 20% higher performance than M4 Pro. The M5 Max provides up to 40-core GPU with four times greater compute than previous generation. Both chips include 16-core neural engines for on-device AI, Thunderbolt 5 support, and Memory Integrity Enforcement.
"The CPU's 18-core setup includes six "super" cores and 12 new performance cores, which Apple says is "optimized to deliver greater power-efficient, multithreaded performance." The chips deliver up to 2.5 times higher multithreaded performance when compared to the M1 Pro and M1 Max."
"The M5 Pro combines the 18-core CPU with an up to 20-core graphics processor, featuring an enhanced shader core "with second-generation dynamic caching and hardware-accelerated mesh shading." Apple says the M5 Pro delivers up to 20 percent higher performance than the M4 Pro."
"Meanwhile, the M5 Max offers an up to 40-core GPU with over four times the compute compared to the previous generation, according to Apple. Both the M5 Pro and M5 Max feature a 16-core neural engine for on-device AI, Thunderbolt 5 support, and Memory Integrity Enforcement."
