The M5 Pro and M5 Max are a pair of processors recently launched by Apple on the evening of March 3rd. Equipped in 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, the M5 Pro and M5 Max focus on improving processing performance and AI computing capabilities, catering to professional tasks.

Both chips feature CPUs with up to 18 cores, including 6 hyper-processing cores and 12 high-performance cores. The hyper-processing cores are optimized for professional workflows with high CPU usage, such as data analysis or simulation algorithms.

Compared to its predecessor, the M5 Pro adds 4 CPU cores for 30% higher multi-threaded performance. This makes it easier for professionals, from data modeling designers to STEM students, to handle complex projects.

The GPU on the M5 Pro has been upgraded with up to 20 cores, and the new architecture integrates a Neural Accelerator in each core. The M5 Pro's GPU computing performance is four times higher than that of the M4 Pro.

The M5 Pro supports up to 64 GB of unified memory, with increased bandwidth of 307 GB/s. Additionally, second-generation Dynamic Caching technology and grid shading technology boost graphics performance by 20% compared to the M4 Pro.

In particular, with third-generation ray-tracing technology, M5 Pro users can experience up to 35% higher graphics performance in 3D graphics rendering applications.

For those demanding higher performance, the M5 Max combines an 18-core CPU with up to 40-core GPUs, double that of the M5 Pro. Utilizing a new GPU architecture, the M5 Max promises 15% higher multi-threaded performance than its predecessor, the M4 Max.

The M5 Max's power is outstanding in AI-intensive and graphics-intensive tasks. Its maximum GPU computing performance is four times higher than the M4 Max, and six times higher than the M1 Max in terms of AI computing.

The M5 Max's overall graphics performance is also up to 20% compared to its predecessor. In applications that support ray-tracing, the increase reaches up to 30%.

The M5 Pro and M5 Max feature a faster 16-core Neural Engine, a Media Engine optimized for H.264, HEVC, and ProRes codecs, and industry-first memory security technology called Memory Integrity Enforcement.

According to Apple, the design of a separate controller for each Thunderbolt 5 port also promises the fastest and most stable data transfer speeds currently available.

Apple equips the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max processors. In Vietnam, the devices start at 60 million VND (14-inch, M5 Pro) and 73 million VND (16-inch, M5 Pro). The M5 Max chip versions start at 98 million VND (14-inch) and 105 million VND (16-inch).
