Apple began mass production of its M5 chipWho is defined to supply new generation products, including the next Mac and iPad series. Coinciding with long-standing relationships, the technological brand based in Cupertino establishes a new node process to pack the semiconductor. The technology aims to provide improved AI performance on the devices it feeds, according to ETNEWS.
Industry sources told the Korean publication that Apple had started to pack the M5 chip last month. The TSMC of Taiwan began the initial production of the M5 chip circuit using its 3 NM (N3P) process. Technology should improve the electrical efficiency of the M5 chip between 5% and 10% and performance of 5% compared to the previous one M4 chipThis will help improve AI performance on Mac and iPad models to come.
Apple is known to publish a series of M5 chips, including M5, M5 Pro, M5 Max and M5 Ultra, each with its own performance and application levels.
Other companies that help pack the M5 Chip series are ASE in Taiwan, AMKOR in the United States and JCET in China. Additional outsourcing suppliers are preparing to need additional installations to extend mass production of high -end fleas, including Pro, Max and Ultra, Detailed Etnews.
“Equipment orders to extend the M5 mass production volume is continuously,” an initiate of the industry told publication.
“As it has started production on a large scale, it will be installed in Apple devices that will be published in the future,” they added.
Previous rumors suggested that the launch of Apple M5 could be dullBut it was before the brand was intentional on the apparent AI market. Notable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said In December 2024, that the first M5 models should start mass production during the first and second quarter of 2025, while the M5 Ultra would probably start mass production in 2026. He added that high -end fleas would be “Better suited to AI inference”.
