Mass production of Apple M5 begins, new generation will focus on AI performance
Apple’s manufacturing partners have begun packaging the upcoming M5 chips, reports ETNews. Packaging is the process of wiring up the raw silicon die and placing it in a protective case. The chips are fabbed on a 3nm TSMC node (N3P), which promises a 5% boost in performance and a 5-10% improvement in power efficiency. Apple is expected to focus on AI performance this generation, so expect a beefier NPU. M4’s Neural Engine is rated at 38 TOPS, a massive increase over the 18 TOPS of the M3 Engine. What’s interesting is that some chips in the M5 generation will use a new technology called...
