Analysis Summary
Worth Noting
Positive elements
- This video provides a concise breakdown of the technical shift from N3E to N3P chip architecture and its implications for Apple's manufacturing efficiency.
Be Aware
Cautionary elements
- The use of marketing-heavy terminology like 'super cores' to describe what is essentially a clock-speed bump on the same core count.

The brand new M5 MacBook Air is here. The most popular laptop in the world and some things have changed. But what exactly? Because if you look at the box, it's exactly the same. Well, underneath it's got an M5 chip upgrade. So, what does the M5 exactly give us? Well, we've got double the storage from 256 GB to 512. We've got Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. They reckon the SSD speeds are also faster. We don't know exactly what speeds, but I reckon you're not going to get the Pro 15 GB per second speeds as you get on the MacBook Pros. It does support now up to four terabytes of storage though. But what about the fine print and CPU and GPU specs? So, the CPU core exactly the same, 10 cores, but the cores have got a naming upgrade. So, your performance cores are now called super cores and your efficiency cores are now called performance cores, but exactly the same layout. Four performance super cores and six efficiency cores are now performance cores. Clock speeds slightly higher. So, expect better multi-core and single core speeds. And the same thing on the GPU. still 10 cores, still exactly the same, slightly higher clock speeds, but the GPU cores have now neural accelerators and third gen rate tracing technology, which means just GPU performance is slightly better, not necessarily in cores, but performance. Now, even though both of the M4 and M5 are still built on the 3nm TSMC process, there are some fine differences. Now, the new N3P is more advanced and is a chiplet design compared to the N3E that was on the previous M4, which is monolithic design, which means it's just more affordable for Apple to make. They can have more configuration and just be excited about the M5 Ultra chips because they can just pull more things into it. Oh, there is bad news though. The new MacBook Air starts from $10.99, but you get double the storage with it. And previously, you were paying for that storage extra $200, but now you basically get that on a discount. So, in terms of pricing lineup, the MacBook Air M5 is the only laptop in the lineup that the increase in price actually makes sense and is better for the consumers. The other ones, you were just forced to upgrade more for the same price. Do you think the M5 Air is worth upgrading too?
