"Apple just unveiled the first glimpses of its new 14-inch MacBook Pro with the , promising 3.5 times more AI performance, 24 hours of battery life, and faster, overall storage: up to 4TB. AI is at the forefront of the M5 MacBook Pro's feature set, with the latest-gen GPU bringing an enhanced neural engine and higher memory bandwidth to the table, translating to overall better performance running on-device LLMs. To compare, Apple says the M5's 10-core GPU delivers six times faster AI performance than the M1."
"With no design changes and the same 14.2-inch mini LED Retina XDR display, Apple is focusing on the numbers here, citing comparisons to previous generations in terms of efficiency and performance. The company also knows that many potential consumers are still using older, Intel-based Macs (I still have my 2017 MacBook Pro as a backup laptop) and producing a slew of impressive comparison metrics in hopes of inspiring an upgrade."
The new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 delivers substantially higher on-device AI performance, faster graphics, and increased memory bandwidth. The M5's 10-core GPU offers up to six times faster AI performance than the M1 and 1.6x faster graphics and frame rates versus the M4. Battery life is rated up to 24 hours and storage tops out at 4TB. The base model starts at $1,599 with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. The external design and 14.2-inch mini LED Retina XDR display remain unchanged. Many users with older Intel-based Macs may still find those machines adequate for everyday tasks.
