The five-year evolution history of Apple’s self-developed chips: How much performance improvement does M5 have compared to M1?

[ Gearbest Technology News]At present, Apple has used self-developed chips Apple silicon to replace Intel chips and fully equipped the Mac product line for five years. During this period, the CPU and GPU performance of Apple’s M-series chips have been significantly improved. In addition, Apple has further enhanced the performance of the device in the fields of artificial intelligence and gaming through additional features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing technology and continuously optimized neural network engines. Below, Gearbestcompares the performance of the current M5 chip with the M1 chip five years ago.

The following is a comparison between the M5 chip and the M1 chip：

1. CPU/GPU performance improved by 6 times

2. AI performance improved 6 times

3. AI video processing speed increased by 7.7 times

4. 3D rendering speed increased by 6.8 times

5. Game performance improved by 2.6 times

6. Code compilation speed increased by 2.1 times

According to Gearbest, Apple’s self-developed chip M1 was unveiled on November 10, 2020, and is installed in three models: MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro and Mac mini. Its energy efficiency performance is significantly improved compared to Intel processors. Apple will sell Mac computers equipped with self-developed chips and Intel chips from 2019 to 2023. However, the 2019 Mac Pro will be discontinued in June 2023, and macOS Tahoe will become the last updated operating system version for Intel models.

According to foreign media reports, Apple chip OEM TSMC has begun developing 2-nanometer process chips, which will be available as soon as 2026. It is expected to increase operating speed by 10% to 15% and reduce power consumption by 25% to 30%. More advanced 1.4-nanometer chips are expected to be launched in 2028.
