Apple takes a big leap in AI power with the M5 chip
Apple has introduced the M5 chip — its most advanced processor yet — built using cutting-edge 3-nanometer technology. The company says it’s a massive leap in AI performance, offering four times more GPU computing power for AI tasks compared to last year’s M4 chip. In simpler terms, this means faster, smarter performance for things like image generation, local AI tools, and everyday multitasking.

m5
A brand-new GPU built for AI and graphics
The M5’s 10-core GPU has something called a “Neural Accelerator” in every core — a first for Apple. That basically means each part of the chip can now handle AI-heavy tasks much more efficiently. Graphics performance is also getting a boost — Apple claims up to 45% better visuals for games and 3D apps, plus smoother motion and less blur on devices like the Apple Vision Pro.

m5
A faster Neural Engine to make AI features work better
The new 16-core Neural Engine is faster and more energy-efficient, helping features like Apple Intelligence, Image Playground, and even the Vision Pro’s spatial photo creation work seamlessly. If you’re into AI tools or creative apps, you’ll notice snappier responses and smoother real-time results without waiting for cloud processing.
4/5
M5
More memory means smoother multitasking and larger AI models
The M5 chip also boosts memory bandwidth by 30%, letting devices handle bigger workloads on the device itself. This means your MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, or Vision Pro can run large AI models, edit 4K videos, or manage multiple creative apps at once — all without lag.
5/5
M5
Powerful yet eco-friendly
Despite its big performance jump, the M5 is built with energy efficiency in mind. Apple says this helps reduce power use over the product’s lifetime — part of its goal to go fully carbon neutral by 2030. So users get a faster chip that’s also better for the planet.
