Apple's New iPad Pro to Pack Powerful M5 Chip
Apple is set to unveil a new iPad, with the 'iPad 17,3' model expected to feature a significant upgrade in processing power. The upcoming device, likely to be released in 2025, will be equipped with the new M5 chip, manufactured using TSMC's advanced 3nm process technology.
The M5 chip has shown impressive performance in early benchmarks. It scored 4,133 points in GeekBench, representing a 13% improvement in single-threaded performance compared to the current 14 W chip. This score is also a 22% improvement over the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, demonstrating Apple's ARM-based designs still lead in single-thread performance.
The M5 is built on TSMC's N3P process, one step ahead of the current Ryzen chips in N4P. It features nine cores, including three performance cores and six efficiency cores, clocked at 4.42 GHz. This configuration offers a 10% improvement over the 22 W variant of the M4 chip. In multi-threaded performance, the M5 outperforms the Ryzen 7 9600X but falls slightly behind the M4 Max in the Mac Studio.
The upcoming iPad, with its 12 GB RAM and powerful M5 chip, promises a significant performance boost. With a 10% improvement in single-threaded performance and a 13% uplift in single-threaded performance over the current 14 W chip, the M5 sets high expectations for the 2025 iPad. The future of the M5 Max chip, if it follows the M5's trajectory, is also an exciting prospect to consider.
