Apple has today announced the new M5 version of its 14-inch MacBook Pro, with the company noting that the new chip is particularly performant when processing AI worfklows.
The new machine was announced via press release after Apple VP Greg Joswiak teased it in a post on X yesterday. This updated MacBook Pro comes with the M5 chip and boasts 3.5x more performance in AI workflows when compared to the M4 MacBook Pro.
Buyers can also choose up to 4TB of faster SSD storage when configuring their new 14-inch MacBook Pro. Those upgrading from the original M1 machines will be the ones that benefit most from this new machine.
“Featuring a next-generation 10-core GPU — with a Neural Accelerator in each core — it delivers up to 3.5x faster AI performance than M4, and up to 6x faster performance than M1,” Apple said via its press release.
From college students transcribing lecture notes, to creators storyboarding a new project with AI tools, to business users uncovering insights by running local models in webAI, the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 is the ultimate laptop for everyday AI workflows and so much more. Users will experience faster text-to-image generation when running diffusion models in apps like Draw Things, and LLMs will run even faster in popular apps like LM Studio. The M5 chip also speeds up a wide variety of pro workflows, like deep learning, data modeling, and AI video enhancement. A faster 16-core Neural Engine further accelerates on-device, AI-driven tasks and enhances performance of the generative models that power Apple Intelligence.
That new M5 chip “delivers up to 1.6x faster graphics performance in pro apps and enables up to 1.6x higher frame rates in games compared to the M4 model,” the press release claims. Apple also notes that the M5 CPU features the world’s fastest CPU core. As a result, its “10-core design delivers up to 20 percent faster multithreaded performance versus M4 for workloads like code compiling, and is perfect for multitasking or speeding through creative applications.”
The new M5 MacBook Pro can be preordered starting tpday and will start arriving on customers’ doorsteps on October 22. The entry-level model starts at $1,599 and comes in Space Black and Silver. That machine comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.
As expected, M5 Pro and M5 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro won’t come until early next year.
