In a Medium post, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo outlined mass production timing (at least his predictions) for the M5 series of Apple chips.
He says the M5 series chips will adopt TSMC’s advanced N3P node, which entered the prototype phase a few months ago. M5, M5 Pro/Max, and M5 Ultra mass production is expected in the first half of 2025, the second half of 2025, and 2026, respectively, according to Kuo.
Expect the processors to roll out next year. The first Mac to get an M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chip is likely to be the MacBook Pro. However, if Apple does what it did this year, the company’s first product with a M5 processor could be an iPad Pro.
