Apple has reportedly started mass production of its next-gen M5 processor: will power new MacBook Pros, iPad Pros, and new Vision Pro successor.

The M5 chips are expected to bring improvements through advanced 3-nanometer technology, enhancing speed and efficiency. Although Apple is not using TSMC’s latest 2nm process due to cost, the M5 series still promises major advancements over the current M4 chips, thanks to a new 3D stacking design that manages heat better and reduces power loss.

Apple has reportedly initiated mass production of its next-generation M5 chip, signaling a significant advancement in the company's silicon technology.

The new M5 chips from Apple have entered mass production but they've had to sacrifice an upgrade that everyone was expecting.

The initial production run is said to be for the base M5 processor, while Apple is also expected to begin production of the more advanced M5 Pro, M5 Max, and M5 Ultra chips. The OSAT companies are reportedly arranging additional facilities to support mass production of the high-end chips.
