Apple has just announced two new processors: the M5 Pro and M5 Max. The new chips will power the MacBook Pro revealed on Tuesday, offering an 18‑core CPU and a new “Fusion Architecture” that integrates two 3 nm dies into a single system‑on‑a‑chip (SoC).

The CPU’s 18‑core configuration includes six super cores and 12 new performance cores, which Apple says is “optimized to deliver greater power‑efficient, multithreaded performance.” The chips deliver up to 2.5 × higher multithreaded performance compared with the M1 Pro and M1 Max. They also feature a neural accelerator in every GPU core, enabling better ray‑tracing and more than four times the previous capability.
