  M5 Pro/Max are just fine for N3P on paper, don't you think? M6 generation should also be nice. Can't go wrong now or later, unless it's suddenly time to bet against Apple Silicon lol

  To be as clear as possible about M5 cores: There are now 3 types of cores: super core, performance core, efficiency core M5 has 4 super cores, 6 efficiency cores M5 Pro/Max have 6 super cores, 12 performance cores Up until today, the super core was referred to as performance

  @MKBHD Yeh... once I read on I realized they renamed performance cores on M5 to super cores lol.

• @mkbhd Marques Brownlee on x

  @VadimYuryev They literally just renamed the same types of cores

  Apple just dropped the new MacBook Pro with M5 Pro & M5 Max 🔥 Built for serious AI + pro workflows Here's what's new: • Up to 18-core CPU (world's fastest CPU core) • Next-gen GPU with Neural Accelerator in every core • Up to 4x faster AI vs previous gen • Up to 8x faster [image]

  Day 2 of Apple announcement's! We have an updated MacBook Air with M5. MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max. Plus, an all new Studio Display with a 120Hz Mini LED Panel! [image]

  It looks like with M5 Pro/Max they changed the cores a bit, the super core is the same actual performance core for M5, which was also changed to be called the super core The performance cores in M5 Pro/Max are new performance cores designed specifically for multi-threaded work

  Apple just did new MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max What's interesting about this one is it's a chiplet! The CPU in both M5 Pro and M5 Max is the same 18 core CPU with 6 super cores and 12 performance cores but you the GPU is either 20-core in the Pro and 40 in the Max [image]

  HOLY SMOKES! Apple ditched efficiency cores! Now using 6 Super cores and 12 Perfomance cores. WHAT!!! Over 30% improvement in multi-core CPU Perfomance was NOT expected.. [image]

  Took Apple long enough lol! Now we can wait for M5 Ultra in June! [image]

  Interesting details on M5 Pro/Max chips: CPU and GPU are now separate dies combined via an interposer.  Also Apple now has 3 types of cores: super cores (what used to be perf cores), perf cores (new design), and efficiency cores (same as before).  —  www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

  It's amazing what Apple is doing with their processors, if only they wouldn't make their operating systems be Migraine Fisher Price.  —  www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

  Efficiency cores are now performance cores.  Timeline goes sideways.  —  https://www.apple.com/...
