"The Apple M5 processor, built on the 3nm process, is touted to be the "next big leap in AI performance for Apple silicon." It houses a next-generation 10-core GPU architecture with a Neural Accelerator in each core. This is said to be optimized for AI and graphics to offer "over 4x the peak GPU compute performance and 45% higher ray tracing as compared to M4.""
"Apple says that its new M5 processor allows the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iPad Pro to "benefit from dramatically accelerated processing for AI-driven workflows," including the likes of running large language models locally using platforms or running diffusion models in apps like Draw Things. It improves the performance of Apple Intelligence models, thanks to its faster Neural Engine and unified memory in M5."
The M5 is built on a 3nm process and targets a major jump in AI performance with a next-generation 10-core GPU architecture and a Neural Accelerator in each core. Apple claims over 4x peak GPU compute performance and 45% higher ray tracing compared to M4. The M5 CPU combines six efficiency cores and up to four performance cores for about a 15% CPU gain, paired with a 16-core Neural Engine and nearly 30% higher unified memory bandwidth at 153GB/s. The chipset enables local LLMs and diffusion workloads on the 14-inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro, with pricing unchanged and preorders available ahead of an October 22 on-sale date.
