MacBook Pro 16" (M5 Max) review: “Super core” architecture and 40-core GPU deliver beastly performance, but still retains a five-year-old design

Outstanding  —  THE BOTTOM LINE  —  Pros & Cons  — “Super core” architecture delivers incredible performance

Here's my M5 Max report, it's a wonderful chip. The idle is lower than M4 Max while the peak performance is even higher. AI performance is, as you would expect, very very good. I think this is the best laptop SoC on the market, which is no surprise. https://creativestrategies.com/ ...

Hell ya We need more low-volume ultra premium stuff on the market. I hope we see it on the iPhone, Mac, etc. Something should be accessible to everyone, but there's also an itch for just more which the more accessible pro devices haven't scratched recently

You'll have more M5 Max stuff from me once ChatGPT makes this stupid chart (it's been running for 10 minutes) but it's extremely good. The idle package power on this thing averages like under 1W even without efficiency cores [image]

On the 8GB MacBook Neo, Apple has some of the best swap on any machine. It's where it offloads the data from memory into flash storage and back so you don't fill your ram. Apple's swap on macOS and Apple silicon is best in industry because of their storage speed + software

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
