New information about Apple’s M5 Pro chip design has been released

According to the disclosure of a leading analyst, Apple has considered a separate design for the CPU and GPU in the M5 series, and these chips will provide server-level performance.

Currently, Apple’s M4 series chips are used on new models of Mac computers. Recently, Ming-Chi Kuo, a prominent Apple analyst, has shared new information about the M5 generation of these chips. It is expected that mass production of these chips will officially begin in the first half of 2025. The M5 chips are developed based on TSMC’s N3P (3nm) technology, which consumes between 5-10% less power than the N3E technology of the M4 generation, and at the same time, its performance will be increased by 5%.

The standard version of the M5 chip is expected to enter mass production in the first half of 2025, followed by the Pro and Max models in the second half of 2025 and the Ultra model in 2026. According to Kuo, Apple will use the SoIC-mH (System-on-Integrated-Chips-Molding-Horizontal) “server-level” design in the Pro, Max and Ultra chips. This type of design occupies 30 to 50% less space than the system on chip. This improves thermal performance and reduces throttle.

In addition, Apple is expected to consider a separate design for the CPU and GPU in the M5 series. With this method, we can hope to increase the performance of the chip. In addition, the M5 series chips are expected to undergo significant improvements and upgrades in order to provide artificial intelligence capabilities.
