Apple Teases Upcoming M5 MacBook Pro Launch: 'Something Powerful is Coming'

[macboy2000]

12-inch here we come!!!

Honey? Is that you?

 

[crsh1976]

My M1 Max MBP 16 is still going strong, will I ever have a reason to upgrade?

If people talk about M5's, I'm thinking of this:

Joke aside, many times i have to make better choice of words when doing searches because both apple and bmw do have the same name on their products.

As an M4 owner i'm now waiting for a redesign +/- OLED screen...maybe even Face ID

 

[spritle]

I think it’s a warning.

 

[dannyyankou]

Not the 5-Ms giving Taylor Swift easter eggs vibe. lol

5 holes in the fence! iykyk

Well, I guess I waited too long to pick up a M4 Mini. Waiting it out for M5 now.

The “V” stands for 5

and the V is made out of MacBook, which is the apple made laptop

If the M5 is powerful then what they will call the m5 max ?!

If people talk about M5's, I'm thinking of this:

James Bond Jr, Bavarian M5 BMW

can't believe 2021 was 4 years ago, I guess this may be the last refresh cycle for this design

"Something powerful is coming." - That's what I say about 20 minutes after eating anything at Taco Bell.

If it is only a base M5 I wouldn’t get too excited. I have a base M4, which is often slower than my M1 Pro, so not super impressed with the M4.
IMO, the one to wait for is the M5 Pro (or Max) if you really want “powerful.”

Can you imagine. iPad Pro with even better keyboard.

If people talk about M5's, I'm thinking of this:

There's a reason PowerMac stopped at G5

 

[Dulcimer]

If rumors are true then no point upgrading until next year with thinner OLED design unless absolutely necessary

 

[soyazul]

Based on leaks, it reads as "something 15% more powerful is coming".

35% improve on the GPU = 35% faster CGI workflows and 70% faster AI workflows

 

[Rafagon]

The “V” stands for 5

Yes!

And 5 Ms in his Tweet!

 

[MNWildFan]

Hah, the fact that the tweet has 5 "m" in mmmmm, the last image of whichever MacBook this is being introduced is in the shape of a V (roman numeral for 5), this is just a beautiful setup

It’s a Y for Yet. Or You’re going to love it

 

[Corefile]

Those guys at Apple read the fan forums you know.

 

[Scipster]

I wonder if something powerful translates to the M5 Pro and M5 Pro Max. They were originally rumored for Spring ‘26 but would be awesome if they release them now.

At what? You're dusting the M1 Pro in single and multicore. M1 Pro has a HW video encoder on it. Memory bandwidth is comparable. M1 Pro has a little more graphics oomph but it's not huge. What could be slower?

Welcome to spec bump week! My M1 works perfectly fine for me.

Same. And it is still not showing any signs of giving up. It's a workhorse!
