Apple is working on making the leap to its next generation of chips. While planning to close the M4 processor cycle with the MacBook Air and the occasional iPad, before April, the company's engineers have already worked on the M5.
In this line, The Macbook Pro will be the first device to mount the expected and powerful chip m5advanceing to the iPad Pro. According to the journalist Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the company plans to introduce this new generation of processors in its line of professional laptops during the fall of 2025, while the iPad Pro with M5 will not reach the first half of 2026.
When the MacBook Pro with m5 chip comes out
This change in the launch order breaks with the strategy followed last year, when Apple presented the M4 chip first at the iPad Pro, in May 2024and subsequently incorporated it into the MacBook Pro in October. Now, the company seems to have opted for a different path, prioritizing its range of laptops before its advanced tablets line.
Before the arrival of the MacBook Pro with M5, Apple will launch updates for the Mac Studio and the Mac Pro equipped with the M4 series. These High performance equipment They could be presented at the WWDC 2025, the annual developer event that the company celebrates in June.
The M5 chip will be based on an improved AR architecture and will be manufactured with the advanced 3 nanometers technology of TSMC. Although Apple had the option to make the leap to the 2 nanometers process, it has finally decided to stay at 3 Nm per cost. Even so, the most powerful M5 models will include significant advances regarding M4especially in energy efficiency and thermal performance.
Apple changes its processing processing strategy
One of the most relevant changes in M5 will be the integration of the Soic technology (System on Integrated Chip), a 3D stacking system that improves heat dissipation and reduces electric leaks. Apple has intensified its collaboration with TSMC to develop this type of new generation hybrid packaging, which also uses a thermoplastic carbon fiber mold to improve thermal efficiency.
The first references to the M5 chip have already been detected in the Apple Code, confirming its existence and advanced development. In addition to its implementation in the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro, Apple is expected to use this new architecture to reinforce its artificial intelligence infrastructures, both in devices and in cloud services.
This turn in the launch strategy could respond to the growing importance of laptops within the Apple ecosystem. With the arrival of the M5, the MacBook Pro could mark a new standard in performance and efficiency, consolidating as the best option for professionals seeking maximum performance in macOS.
For now, what we have left is to wait for launch of the iPhone Fourth generation that, if everything follows the indicated, would arrive this Wednesday. On the other hand, the MacBook Air with M4 Chip is scheduled for March “as too late”, according to the renowned analyst Mark Gurman.
The entrance this is the first Apple product that will mount the expected and powerful chip M5: it will break the market was first published in the bite apple.
