Overview

• Apple announced that MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Vision Pro are moving to the new M5 chip, with external designs unchanged.
• The M5 uses TSMC’s third‑generation 3‑nm process (N3P) and an up to 10‑core CPU, with Apple citing roughly 15% faster CPU performance versus M4.
• A new graphics architecture adds a Neural Accelerator in every GPU core and raises memory bandwidth to about 150 GB/s, targeting faster on‑device AI and graphics.
• Only the base M5 is launching now, with Pro, Max and possibly Ultra variants expected later, while higher‑tier MacBook Pro models continue on M4 Pro and M4 Max for the time being.
• In Germany, the 14‑inch MacBook Pro with M5 starts at €1,800, €100 less than the prior model, and no power adapter is included in the box.
