M5 Pro versus M4 Pro. What exactly has changed? Well, there are some interesting things happening. Number one, CPU cores have now been increased from 14 cores to 18 cores. Looks like the M5 Max and Pro are sharing exactly the same CPU cores, the super sneaky thing, and you know about that if you've already seen my other video. But my question is, is the M5 Pro exactly the same performance as the M5 Max? probably not. They're going to be limiting the Pro chip somehow with the CPU performance. In terms of GPU performance, we have 20 cores, which is exactly the same as the previous M4 Pro, but now with neural acceleration, which means that basically you've got little other cores attached to the GPU cores that help GPU performance. That's especially noticeable when you're doing some AI work, local LLMs, or some very specific 3D workflows. The wireless connectivity has been upgraded from Wi-Fi 6E to Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Memory bandwidth has been increased from 273 GB to 307 GB per second. SSD speeds are up from 7 GB per second to 15 GB per second or 14.5 to be exact, but you need higher model, not the base model, in order to get those speeds. But the base model speeds have still been increased. The good news is that the base storage has been upgraded from 512 GB to 1 terbte. But the bad news is you're going to be forced to pay for it. You're not going to get that for free for the same price, which is a little bit of a sneaky thing that Apple has done in order to disguise the DM shortage. Oh, and finally, each port on the MacBook M5 Pro has a dedicated Thunderbolt 5 controller.
