"Apple launched the MacBook Pro with M5 chip on October 22nd, and here we are on November 20th watching Amazon slash prices for Black Friday: That's never happened to a MacBook Pro this fresh out of the box. It's also worth mentioning that the Apple store doesn't run Black Friday sales so Amazon's discounting is notable for anyone who's been eyeing these machines."
"The M5 chip features a 10-core CPU is split between performance and efficiency cores that handle workloads intelligently based on task demands. Heavy applications like video editing, 3D rendering, or software compilation run on performance cores that deliver maximum speed, while background tasks use efficiency cores that sip power. The 10-core GPU accelerates graphics tasks, machine learning workloads and video encoding significantly faster than previous generations."
Amazon reduced prices on newly released MacBook Pro models, including the 14-inch with M5 chip, 16GB unified memory, and 512GB storage, to $1,444 from $1,599. The M5 integrates a 10-core CPU split between performance and efficiency cores, a 10-core GPU, and a neural engine capable of 38 trillion operations per second, enabling faster graphics, machine learning, and video encoding while running Apple Intelligence entirely on-device. Unified memory now starts at 16GB, allowing shared access by CPU, GPU, and neural engine for smoother multitasking, creative workflows, and virtual machines without frequent memory copying. The Apple Store does not run Black Friday sales, making Amazon's discount notable.
