The Apple M5 chip comes into production, which products?
The site dedicated to High-Tech Etnews news revealed that the Apple M5 chip has entered the massive production phase. According to the South Korean publication, “Apple launched the mass production of its new generation semiconductor chip, the M5. This chip teams the brand's flagship products, such as the MAC series and the iPad. It seems that Apple has adopted new manufacturing technology in order to improve artificial intelligence performance (AI)“Thus, this new chip should allow a simpler transition of new products to Apple Intelligence. Etnews report Also indicates that production only affects conventional M5 models, but should soon extend to Pro, Max and Ultra models.
Finally Apple Intelligence on Vision Pro?
What will this new chip bring? In addition to better performance (it is a classic), the M5 should also be designed to operate at a lower temperature, which would allow it to maintain its maximum power longer before being affected by thermal limitation. But then, what products will be affected by the M5 chip? It should equip three types of products: MacBook Pro, The iPad Pro (which we have already been able to talk about)but also the Apple Vision Pro. For example, The MacBook Pro could benefit from a significant increase in power thanks to a new chip package process, according to a Ming-Chi Kuo report published at the end of last year. But if it was obvious that the MacBook Pro and the iPad Pro would take advantage of it (like every year), it is however more surprising for the pro vision.
Indeed, if The pro vision Do not have a worldwide success, it is for several reasons. The most obvious is the fact that the tool is far too expensive for ordinary people (count € 4,000 per home). But the fact that the helmet is not equipped with the latest Apple Intelligence features also plays against it. By passing over an M5 chip, Apple would therefore be able to fill this major defect by allowing the mixed reality headset to accommodate these major functions. The M5 chip should also improve the performance of the gaming side helmet, one of its other big weak points.
