On October 15, 2025, Apple unveiled the 14-inch MacBook Pro, which comes packed with the cutting-edge M5 chip, elevating Mac's AI capabilities to unprecedented levels. The M5 chip is crafted using the third-generation 3-nanometer manufacturing process. It boasts a next-generation 10-core graphics processor, with each core seamlessly integrating neural network accelerators.
The graphics processor's peak computational prowess is over four times greater than that of the M4, translating to a graphics performance boost of up to 45%. In the Geekbench 6 benchmark test, the M5 chip soared to a remarkable single-core score of 4263, setting a new benchmark as the highest single-core score ever recorded among Mac and PC processors. Its multi-core performance outshines the Intel i9-14900K by a significant 27% margin.
Additionally, the M5 chip incorporates a 16-core neural engine, and its unified memory bandwidth has been expanded to 153GB/s. This enhancement enables the on-device operation of large models boasting up to 20 billion parameters. The 14-inch MacBook Pro, featuring the M5 chip, starts at a price of 12,999 yuan. Pre-orders are now open, with official sales commencing on October 22.
