According to a new rumor, Apple has since started the mass production of the M5 chip. You can expect these devices.
Apple starts production M5 chip
According to a new rumor, the new M5 chip has now gone into mass production. Not much is known about it yet, but it is expected that he will have improved AI performance. In addition, the new chip may get a slightly different design than the previous M-series Chips. We expect the M5 chip to be used in 2025 for new models of the Vision Pro, the MacBook Pro and the iPad Pro.
Vision Pro
The Vision Pro is perhaps the most important of the three, because the new chip probably enables Apple Intelligence functions. That is something that is not yet available on the existing model that runs on the M2 chip. Incidentally, this is not because the M2 chip cannot perform AI, but because the chip is not powerful enough to carry out all Visionos processes and Apple Intelligence at the same time. The rest of the Vision Pro design is expected to remain largely or completely unchanged.
MacBook Pro
According to a report from Ming-Chi Kuo at the end of last year, the MacBook Pro might get a major energy boost with M5-Chip:
“One of the Key Elements of Apple’s A-Series and M-Series Chips is the System-on-A-Chip (SOC) Design which Tightly Integrates All The Components Within A Single Package. This includes Both CPU and GPU. But a new report suggests that the m5 pro chip may take a different approach approach of having more separated cpu and gpu in order to improve performance and boost production yields. ”
(“One of the most important elements of the chips from Apple’s A and M series is the System-on-A-Chip (SOC) design, where all components are integrated close together in one package. This includes both The CPU if the GPU but a new report may follow a different approach, with a more separate CPU and GPU to improve performance and to increase the production yield. “)
This could in particular improve the AI performance. But if you want to upgrade an older MacBook Pro model, it is better to wait for the 2026 model, which according to rumors get a totally new design, and therefore also becomes thinner and lighter.
M5 chip in mass production
That Apple has since started the mass production of the M5 chip is a rumor that comes from the Korean website Ethews. The website also reports that Apple has introduced a new process technique to improve the performance of artificial intelligence (AI).
The rumor also says that production started with the basic M5 chip, after which the M5 Pro, Max and Ultra variants will follow. In addition to the improved performance, the new chip would also be cooler, which means that it can run for longer at full power.
