What are the highlights of the Apple MacBook Pro with M5 chip? Performance improved by 30%!

[ Gearbest Technology News] Gearbesthas learned that Apple will release a large number of new products at an event in early March, including several MacBook Pro models equipped with M5 chips. Recently, some overseas media published an article summarizing the highlights of the new MacBook Pro, but they did not recommend consumers to buy this product.

It is reported that the new Apple MacBook Pro is expected to cover 14-inch and 16-inch models, with M5 Pro and M5 Max chip versions. The design may continue the M4 series style, and there are no rumors of appearance changes.

In terms of chip performance, the M5 series is based on TSMC's more advanced N3P 3-nanometer process technology, which has improved speed and energy efficiency. Among them, the multi-core CPU performance of the M5 chip is improved by up to 20% compared with the M4, and the GPU performance is improved by up to 30%. In this upgrade, Apple added a neural network accelerator to each GPU core, significantly improving the processing speed of GPU-driven AI tasks. At the same time, the chip also supports third-generation ray tracing technology, second-generation dynamic cache technology, and optimizes shader core performance. In addition, the 16-core neural network engine is more energy efficient and the unified memory bandwidth has also been significantly increased. These features are expected to be also applied to the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.

Other possible upgrade points include SSD speed improvements. Previously, Apple has updated the SSD performance for the M5 MacBook Pro, and this time the M5 Pro and M5 Max models may continue this optimization.

However, foreign media “macrumors” said that for users who do not urgently need to change their machines, early 2026 may not be the best time to buy a MacBook Pro. The next-generation MacBook Pro is expected to be equipped with an OLED display and touch screen functions. The display quality will undergo a major upgrade, and it may use a Dynamic Island design to replace the existing “bangs”. At the same time, the macOS system will also be optimized for touch operations. In addition, the introduction of OLED screens may be accompanied by design updates and iterations of M6 Pro and M6 Max chip technology.
