Understanding the Apple M5 Series processors

Amazingly, the 1st rumors of the M5 Series Apple silicon have appeared. Apple is expected to have an annual release rhythm, so it is very likely you will see the first M5 variants in mid to late 2025.

The M5 Series are probably 2nm chips and little is known beyond that at the present time. I will add information as it becomes available.

The brilliance of Apple silicon is the components of each one are the same. There are just more or less of them in each type.

Performance of the various M5 processors, just like their predecessors really will boil down to the base M5 processor performance. At this point specifications are wild guesstimates.
