Apple has added the AI-centric M5 Pro and M5 Max processors to its MacBook Pro. The new processors have been included in the higher-end 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch Mac MacBook Pro respectively. The base configuration of the M5 has 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, and can be configured up to an 18-core CPU, a 20-core GPU, 64GB, and 4TB storage. Additionally, the N1 chip has been added to the base 14-in MacBook Pro, the iPad Pro, and Apple Vision Pro. Pricing has remained unchanged, with no changes to the space black and silver color options. The M5 Ex and Ex Ex Max have more powerful specs and configuration options than the base M5.
