Apple raises MacBook prices across the board as M5 chips, new displays signal AI-first strategy
Apple on Tuesday rolled out new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models with its latest M5 chips, along with an updated Studio Display lineup, in its biggest Mac refresh in more than a year.
The push gives Apple a fresh shot at reviving Mac demand while making a broader case that more AI work will move onto the device itself, not just the cloud.
The announcements come at a critical moment for Apple's Mac business, which saw sales drop nearly 7% to $8.39 billion during the holiday quarter, falling well short of analyst expectations of nearly $9 billion. These new machines are meant to get people to upgrade, especially users still hanging onto older Intel-era systems or early M-series devices.
M5 chips now have three types of core – what does this actually mean?
Prior to yesterday’s launch of the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, Apple Silicon chips had two types of core: efficiency and performance.
The M5 chips now have three types of core, with a complication caused by the renaming of one of them. Here’s what’s going on …
Apple silicon chips were a massive improvement on the Intel ones that preceded them for two reasons. First, they were substantially more powerful than even the best Intel chips at the time. Second, they offered unprecedented levels of power efficiency, significantly boosting true battery life.
That balancing act was achieved by giving the chips two types of CPU cores, efficiency and performance. For everyday tasks, the efficiency cores would be used, which was what gave the machines their great battery life. For more demanding usage, the performance cores would be used.
