The first benchmark results for Apple’s new MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5) have surfaced, revealing the M5 chip has significantly improved performance compared to its previous generation, the M4. Recent leaks and tests indicate the M5 chip’s single-core score is 18% higher than the M4, and multi-core performance is boosted by 22-25%.
These performance gains are due to Apple’s optimized TSMC 3nm (N3E) process and its advanced AI Engine. Sources at PhoneArena, The Verge, and 9to5Mac have confirmed that the M5 chip significantly improves AI and GPU-based workloads. Apple has included a new Neural Engine in this generation, which processes AI tasks 3.5x faster. This is because Apple has optimized macOS for AI features.
The new MacBook Pro 14-inch M5 doesn’t have many changes to its front design—it features the same Liquid Retina XDR display, aluminum body, and MagSafe charging port as the M4 MacBook, so both laptops will look similar. However, the upgrades inside are significant. Apple has increased memory bandwidth to 153 GB/s, and SSD storage is available up to 4 TB.
The combination of AI and graphics performance makes the M5 MacBook Pro a powerful, AI-ready laptop. Reviewers say this isn’t just a “spec bump” update, but a clear indicator of Apple’s next-gen AI computing direction.
The new MacBook Pro (M5) is available for delivery starting today, and demand is showing strong demand. Furthermore, Apple’s AI ecosystem is expected to expand further through 2026 with M5-based devices.
