Apple announced the M5 chip built on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process (N3E). The M5 delivers 40% CPU performance improvement and 60% GPU boost over M4.
The Neural Engine 6.0 enables 45 TOPS — running 70B parameter LLMs locally at 40 tokens/second. This makes on-device AI indistinguishable from cloud AI for most professional workflows.
The chip debuts in updated Mac Pro and MacBook Pro this fall. Qualcomm and Intel have closed the efficiency gap but Apple Silicon’s ecosystem advantage keeps Apple ahead.
