Tracking The Apple M5 Here -- December 26, 2024

Locator: 44534APPLE.

What is the difference between the Apple M4 and M5 chips?

Apple: link here. The M4 was revolutionary and is only starting to shop up in Apple productions. Now, already, we're talking about the M5. 

The M5 family of chips will be manufactured on TSMC’s N3P node, the next step up from the N3E on the M4. Kuo says the new node “entered the prototype phase a few months ago,” but it’s the first time we’re getting three generations of chips in a row that use the 3nm node.

The M5 Pro, Max, and Ultra, specifically, will use “server-grade” 2.5D packaging, with the explicit purpose of improving production yields and thermal performance. This will allow the CPU and GPU to use separate designs, which is a major change from previous generations that use a conventional system on chip. Kuo also mentions that these high-end M5 chips will be “better suited” for AI inferencing.
