No "max" or "pro" equivalent? I wanted to get a new Macbook Pro, but there's no obvious successor to the M4 Max available, M5 looks like a step down in performance if anything.

No doubt the "wider" versions of the M5 are coming.

My hope is that they are taking longer because of a memory system upgrade that will make running significantly more powerful LLMs locally more feasible.

I assume that would come with the next release cycle of the MacBook? Isn’t that supposed to be early next year?

Apparently not until early next year. I was surprised by this too, but I hadn’t really been following the rumors at all, so I didn’t really have any grounds for being surprised by this.
