Right now, all eyes are on the imminent launch of the M4 Mac range. Apple recently announced that starting Monday, the company plans to make a series of Mac-related announcements, including some for the aforementioned M4 Macs that starting Monday, the company plans to make a series of Mac-related announcements, some of which will likely concern the aforementioned M4 Macs.
Apple’s high-end M4 Pro and M4 Max variants are also set to make an appearance and power the MacBook Pro lineup. THE redesigned mac mini will make do with the M4 and M4 Pro SoCs, while the 24-inch iMac will be limited to the standard M4 chip.
That said, speculation regarding Apple’s next-generation M5 SoC has already started to appear on the interwebs. According to Mark Gurman of BloombergBloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the M5 will likely debut in a future iPad Pro that’s expected to arrive late next year. It’s interesting to see Apple showcasing its M-series silicon in iPad instead of Mac, which likely underscores the company’s growing commitment to efficiency over raw performance.
This does not mean that the M4 isn’t powerful enough – the SoC is a chip that challenges the limited thermal space of the iPad Pro, at 5.1mm thick. It is more than 20% faster than its predecessor in single-core and multi-core performance his predecessoralthough it is held back by a passive cooling system, it is more than 20% faster in both single-core and multi-core performance than its predecessor. In recently leaked benchmarks for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, the M4 runs circles around the Intel Core Ultra 9 288Vand struts with a 60% lead in multi-core performance.
Unsurprisingly, there’s little information on what we can expect from the M5, since it won’t arrive for over a year. Additionally, unlike its other products, Apple’s advances in silicon are best kept secrets. That’s why we probably won’t know more about what the M5 will bring to the table until it’s ready to make headlines.
