Looks premium, eco-responsible, powerful, just like the M4. And the M3. And the one before. Does anyone know what exactly changed this year?

- m4 -> m5, same core number and distribution, "neural accelerators", higher memory bandwidth

- max storage increased from 2 to 4TB (and probably an extra kidney in price)

Everything else is strictly identical.

The marketing blurb claims 2~3x the performances of the M4 for AI stuff (I assume that's the neural accelerators), 20% for CPU tasks (compiling), 40~80% for GPU tasks (gaming and 3D rendering).

4TB was available before, maybe only coupled with a Max CPU, which seems not available yet for M5.

This is great but it's apples to oranges until they have Pro & Max variants we can directly compare against the M4 line.

The number, which means you should upgrade.
