M5 Pro and M5 Max are surprisingly big departures from older Apple Silicon
Summary
Ars Technica reviews Apple's M5 Pro and M5 Max, highlighting a major architectural shift: an all-new Fusion Architecture with two chiplets (CPU and GPU) built on 3nm, and a new third type of CPU core. The article compares the M5 family to M2/M3/M4, notes different GPU/core counts and memory bandwidth, and explores potential implications for performance and Ultra-class configurations, while stressing that real-world performance awaits hands-on testing.
