Apple’s highly anticipated M5 chip has officially entered mass production, signaling its arrival in the next-generation MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro. This new chip is expected to bring significant improvements, especially in AI performance, and may feature a different design from previous M-series processors.
M5 chip to power key 2025 devices
The M5 chip will be at the core of three major Apple products in 2025:
- MacBook Pro – Expected to receive a substantial performance upgrade.
- iPad Pro – Likely to offer enhanced AI capabilities.
- Vision Pro – Could introduce Apple Intelligence features, improving the device’s spatial computing experience.
Among these, the Vision Pro could benefit the most. The M5 chip will allow the headset to handle Apple Intelligence features alongside visionOS processes, something the current M2-powered model struggles to do efficiently.
Potential redesign for M5 Pro chip
Apple has traditionally used a system-on-a-chip (SoC) design for its M-series processors, integrating CPU and GPU in a single package. However, reports suggest the M5 Pro chip may take a different approach, with a more separated CPU and GPU. This could improve performance, increase production yields, and further enhance AI capabilities.
However, those considering an upgrade might want to wait for the 2026 MacBook Pro, rumored to feature a complete redesign with a thinner and lighter body.
