Highlights Apple’s M5 chips will enter mass production in the first half of 2025 M5 Pro/Max will start production in the second half of 2025. M5 Ultra production is expected in 2026. All chips will feature a server-grade SoIC-mH design using 30-50% less space. M5 Chips will be Built on TSMC’s advanced N3P node (3nm). The chips promise 10% lower power consumption and a 5% performance boost Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently shared an update on the M5 Chips. (Image credit - Apple) With Apple’s M4 chips powering the latest Macs, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently shared insights on X (formerly Twitter) about the upcoming M5 generation, which is set to bring significant improvements. The M5 chips are expected to enter mass production in the first half of 2025 and will be built on TSMC’s advanced N3P node (3nm). Apple M5 series chip 1. The M5 series chips will adopt TSMC’s advanced N3P node, which entered the prototype phase a few months ago. M5, M5 Pro/Max, and M5 Ultra mass production is expected in 1H25, 2H25, and 2026, respectively. 2. The M5 Pro, Max, and Ultra will utilize… — 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) December 23, 2024 Kuo wrote, “The M5 series chips will adopt TSMC’s advanced N3P node, which entered the prototype phase a few months ago. M5, M5 Pro/Max and M5 Ultra mass production is expected in 1H25, 2H25 and 2026, respectively. The M5 Pro, Max and Ultra will utilize server-grade SoIC packaging. Apple will use 2.5D packaging called SoIC-mH (moulding horizontal) to improve production yields and thermal performance, featuring separate CPU and GPU designs.” The post further added, “Apple’s PCC infrastructure build-out will accelerate after the mass production of the high-end M5 chips, better suited for AI inferencing.” This manufacturing process promises 5–10% lower power consumption compared to the M4’s N3E process while delivering a 5% performance boost. Timeline for M5 Chips (Expected) Apple’s rollout plan for the M5 series includes: M5 (standard): Mass production begins in the first half of 2025. M5 Pro/Max: Production starts in the second half of 2025. M5 Ultra: Expected in 2026. Server-Grade Design and Performance According to Kuo, the M5 Pro, Max and Ultra chips will feature a server-grade SoIC-mH (System-on-Integrated-Chips-molding-Horizontal) design. This innovative approach uses 30–50 per cent less space compared to the conventional system-on-chip designs. The compact layout is expected to enhance thermal performance while reducing throttling and support better overall efficiency. Apple also plans to separate the CPU and GPU designs for the M5 series, which could lead to even greater performance gains. This upgrade is anticipated to deliver a major boost for AI-focused tasks. Apple is gearing up to set a new benchmark in chip performance with these advancements and it will make the M5 series a significant leap forward for Mac users. FAQs Q1. When will the production of Apple's M5 chips begin? Answer. The M5 chips will enter mass production in the first half of 2025 for the standard M5. The M5 Pro/Max will start production in the second half of 2025 and the M5 Ultra is expected in 2026. Q2. What is the "server-grade" design feature of the M5 Pro, Max and Ultra chips? Answer. The M5 Pro, Max, and Ultra chips will feature a "server-grade" SoIC-mH (System-on-Integrated-Chips-molding-Horizontal) design using 30–50% less space while enhancing thermal performance, reducing throttling and supporting better overall efficiency. Q3. How will the M5 chips improve performance compared to the M4 chips? Answer. The M5 chips, built on TSMC’s advanced N3P node (3nm), promise 5–10% lower power consumption and a 5% performance boost compared to the M4 chips. They will also separate CPU and GPU designs for greater performance gains.
