The M5 Max introduces the Apple-designed Fusion Architecture, a state-of-the-art design that connects two dies into a single SoC. This brings together two 3rd-gen 3nm dies with high bandwidth and low latency using advanced packaging.
The two dies include a powerful 18-Core CPU, a scalable 40-Core GPU, Media Engine, unified memory controller, Neural Engine, and Thunderbolt 5 capabilities. The M5 Max features a 18-Core CPU with six super cores and 12 performance cores.
The super core is the highest-performance core design with fast single-threaded performance, driven in part by increased front-end bandwidth, an improved cache hierarchy, and enhanced branch prediction.
The performance core is optimized to deliver greater power-efficient, multithreaded performance for pro workloads. Together with the super cores, the M5 Max delivers up to 2.5x higher multithreaded performance than M1 Pro and M1 Max. The super cores and performance cores give the MacBook Pro a huge performance boost to handle the most CPU-intensive pro workloads, like analyzing complex data or running demanding simulations with unparalleled ease.
The M5 Max pairs the 18-Core CPU with a next-gen 40-Core GPU. With a Neural Accelerator in each GPU core, the M5 Max speeds up AI tasks, such as image generation from diffusion models, large language model (LLM) prompt processing, and on-device transformer model training. With more CPU cores than the M4 Pro, the CPU architecture in the M5 Max boosts multithreaded performance by up to 30% for pro workloads. The M5 Max (40-Core GPU) supports up to 128GB of unified memory with higher unified memory bandwidth up to 617 GB/s. With all these features, the M5 Max delivers over 4x the peak GPU compute compared to the M4 Max, and over 6x the peak GPU compute than the M1 Max for AI performance.
The M5 Max has an enhanced shader core with 2nd-gen dynamic caching and hardware-accelerated mesh shading, delivering up to 20% higher graphics performance than the M4 Max and 2.2x higher than the M1 Max. And with Apple’s 3rd-gen ray-tracing engine, the M5 Max provides up to a 30% graphics uplift in apps using this rendering technique as compared to the M4 Max.

Thunderbolt 5 combines ultrahigh bandwidth with the versatility of the USB-C industry standard to create one revved-up universal port. It integrates data transfer, charging, and video output in a single connector. Thunderbolt 5 offers transfer speeds up to 120 Gb/s. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 5 is reversible, so no matter how you plug in, it’s always right side up.
MagSafe 3 makes connecting a power cable quick and easy while also protecting your MacBook Pro. Apple also brings fast charging to the MacBook Pro, allowing you to charge up to 50% in just 30 minutes.
There is also an HDMI port for outputting to an external display. The 3.5mm audio jack makes it easy to plug in headphones. The SDXC card reader allows you to quickly transfer photos and videos from your camera to your MacBook Pro.
Supports up to four external displays over any combination of Thunderbolt and HDMI ports:
- Four displays up to a native resolution of 6K at 60 Hz or 4K at 144 Hz or
- Two displays up to a native resolution of 8K at 60 Hz or 5K at 120 Hz or 4K at 240 Hz
Supports up to four external displays over a single Thunderbolt port
Simultaneously supports the built-in display at full native resolution
Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) ports support native DisplayPort 2.1 speeds
