Apple has released its flagship MacBook Pro laptops with the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which it claims set a new standard for pro laptops.
"MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max sets a new standard for pro laptops, now up to 4x faster than the previous generation," said Apple Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering John Ternus in a company press release received in Jakarta on Wednesday.
The M5 Pro and M5 Max chips in the latest MacBook Pro are designed to support powerful artificial intelligence ( AI ) performance.
The M5 Pro and M5 Max feature a new CPU with up to 18 cores , including six super cores and 12 new performance cores . This combination of cores delivers up to 30 percent faster performance than the previous generation.
For the GPU, in addition to using the same technology as the M5 chip , the M5 Pro and M5 Max GPU architecture has each core with a Neural Accelerator, so it is capable of delivering LLM prompt processing up to 4x faster than the M4 Pro and M4 Max.
The graphics performance of the chip is also said to be up to 50 percent higher compared to the previous generation chip .
