The M5 chip brings a next-generation GPU with a Neural Accelerator in every core, delivering up to 3.5x faster AI performance and 1.6x faster graphics than the M4. It also features a faster CPU, a more powerful Neural Engine, and higher memory bandwidth that boosts everything from app launches to running large language models (LLMs) directly on the device.
Apple claims the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 can last up to 24 hours on a single charge, while offering up to 2x faster SSD speeds for tasks like RAW image imports and large video exports.
Available in Space Black and Silver, the new MacBook Pro also includes a Liquid Retina XDR display, 12MP Center Stage camera, six-speaker Spatial Audio system, and macOS Tahoe with integrated Apple Intelligence.
M5: The next big step for AI on Mac
At the heart of the upgrade is Apple’s M5 chip — a 10-core GPU with a Neural Accelerator in each core and a faster 16-core Neural Engine. The result: dramatically improved AI workflows, whether for text-to-image generation, LLM execution, or creative tools like Topaz Video and Blender.Apple says the M5 enables up to:
- 7.7x faster AI video enhancement in Topaz Video (vs M1)
- 6.8x faster 3D rendering in Blender (vs M1)
- 3.2x higher frame rates in games (vs M1)
- 2.1x faster Xcode build performance (vs M1)
These improvements also make the MacBook Pro ideal for professionals who rely on AI workflows from developers and data analysts to designers and content creators.
A major upgrade for Intel and M1 users
For users upgrading from older Intel or M1 systems, the new M5-powered MacBook Pro delivers striking gains:
- Up to 86x faster AI performance vs Intel models
- Up to 30x faster GPU performance with ray tracing
- Up to 5.5x faster CPU performance
- Up to 14 hours longer battery life than Intel-based MacBooks
It also supports fast charging up to 50% in just 30 minutes with a 96W USB-C adapter — while maintaining full performance even when unplugged.
macOS Tahoe and Apple Intelligence
The 14-inch MacBook Pro ships with macOS Tahoe, which introduces a more fluid design and deeper personalization. Spotlight gets smarter with instant actions, while Continuity adds a new Phone app to make and receive calls directly from Mac.
Apple Intelligence enhances the experience further with features like Live Translation, smarter Shortcuts, and intelligent tools that run entirely on device for privacy and speed.
Built for longevity and sustainability
As part of Apple’s 2030 carbon neutrality goal, the new MacBook Pro is made with 45% recycled materials, including 100% recycled aluminum, rare earth elements, and cobalt in the battery. It’s manufactured using 55% renewable electricity and ships in 100% fiber-based packaging.
