This model is characterized by a significant expansion of parallel processing capabilities to handle high-intensity workloads. As a result, it offers four times faster large language model (LLM) prompt processing and eight times faster AI image generation compared to its predecessor. Users can locally train their own AI models or utilize AI-powered tools for design work.

The M5 Pro and M5 Max chips in this model are designed with a "fusion architecture." The new chips feature 18 cores, combining six super cores for maximum speed with twelve performance cores, resulting in a substantial performance boost.

Speed and storage capacity have also been improved. This model boasts read and write speeds twice as fast as the previous generation, with battery life of up to 24 hours. The MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro chip comes standard with 1TB of storage, while the M5 Max model offers 2TB as standard.

Alongside these, Apple also introduced the MacBook Air with the M5 chip, as well as the "Studio Display" and "Studio Display XDR" monitors, both featuring a 12MP Center Stage camera for enhanced image quality.

The prices of the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air released on this day have increased by 100 to 400 dollars compared to the previous generation, with the price in Korea rising by 200,000 to 1.1 million won. The new models will be available for pre-order starting on March 4, and the official release is on March 11.
