Hi, the common idea is that Apple did not release MacBook Pro with these two chips along with the M5 is that they are separating the CPU and GPU so they can have different memory sizes. I found this strange as for the Silicon Mac, they usually just drop newer chips with small incremental change each year and release products that have outdated components so people keep buying for next generations. They should separate the CPU and GPU of the M6 in the new anniversary redesign. I wonder if we will see M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro this month.
Got a tip for us?

Will MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max be released in 2025?

The Pro/Max chips have always been released later. (My prediction is March 2026.)
Also, I will eat my hat (and my boots) if Apple moves away from unified memory any time soon.

Why would Apple separate the CPU & GPU. Their whole MO is the CPU and GPU can work on the same data set without having to memcopy between DRAM and VRAM.
Maybe I remember it wrong. I think somebody in the forum mentioned it. Maybe separation of cores not memory?
