Apple Begins Mass Production of AI-Focused M5 Chip

The M5 chip, expected to power upcoming iPads, Macs, and Vision Pro devices, promises improved AI capabilities and efficiency.

Apple's M5 chip has entered mass production, reportedly using TSMC's advanced N3P 3nm process for better performance and energy efficiency.
The M5 series is expected to include variants like M5 Pro, M5 Max, and M5 Ultra, with advanced packaging technologies to enhance thermal management and AI performance.
The first devices rumored to feature the M5 chip include the next-generation iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro, potentially launching in late 2025 or early 2026.
The M5 chip is designed to improve on-device AI capabilities, addressing limitations seen in the current M2-powered Vision Pro model.
Apple has not officially confirmed product release timelines, but industry reports suggest significant upgrades in AI and chip architecture with the M5 series.
