Apple claims that its 2026 models can deliver "up to 2x" the sustained read and write speeds of the M4 Pro and Max laptops. In our testing, the 4TB SSD in the 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro bore that out: our unit could sustain a 13.6GB/s read speed and an even higher 17.8GB/s write speed.
Meta is building these chips because buying AI hardware at scale is expensive, and relying too heavily on external suppliers leaves less room to shape that hardware to its own needs. Building more in-house could help the company keep AI costs in check.
The man's voice is menacing, and British, as he says, 'Today we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives' in a 'garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom secure from the pests obeying contradictory thoughts.'
The M5 Pro and M5 Max are no longer monolithic chips with all the CPU and GPU cores and everything else packed into a single silicon die. Using an 'all-new Fusion Architecture' like the one used to combine two Max chips into a single Ultra chip, Apple now splits the CPU cores (and other things) into one piece of silicon, and the GPU cores (and other things) into another piece of silicon.
