Reports are emerging about some wild changes coming to Apple’s next-gen M5 chips. One of these is the lineup ditching the unified architecture that’s been a signature of Apple silicon so far. Instead, the CPU and GPU will use separate memory pools.
The claim comes from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He says that all M5 variants, including the base M5, M5 Pro, M5 Max, and M5 Ultra, will be fabricated on TSMC’s advanced 3nm N3P process node. That’s a change from the current M4 and A18 Bionic chips that use the slightly older N3E node.
