M5 Pro/Max are HERE - Apple just KILLED Windows!

Apple just shocked the tech world by not

giving us just a few math books, but

throwing everything at us, even a

surprise that I don't think they meant

to do. So, we're going to be focusing on

the new M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBooks and

all of the changes and some marketing. I

don't know if I should say gimmicks, but

along with that, I'm going to talk about

some of the other products that were

launched today briefly. And it just

blows my mind what Apple just did. Now,

I'm going to start out with the M5

MacBook Air because this is a quick one

and I'm actually very happy about this

one. The design is the same as you guys

could see. The main thing is it is

getting the M5 chip and unfortunately

VM was wrong. We are getting some price

increases, but not in the way that a lot

of people expected. And as far as

performance, they are still comparing to

the M1, but of course with the M4, the

previous model. Their main advertising

point is the LLM prompt processing. Uh

the AI with the M5 chip, we've saw that

before, have a massive improvement. And

those dedicated cores make a big

difference as long as your software can

utilize it, which of course in their

calculations here u they are showing off

what makes the biggest difference. Now,

if we glance at the detailed comparisons

here, there's one thing that really

stands out, and that is the fact that

the M5 is labeled having four super

cores and six efficiency cores. Yes, you

heard that right, super cores. And

looking at the previous M4, it has four

performance cores with six efficiency

cores. Now, I'll talk about that in just

a sec. But what makes me really happy is

the fact that we now have a base storage

of 512 gigabytes. Yes, finally we had 16

gigs with the M4 as a base. That was

amazing. Now the storage is also

increased. Uh so 16 gig 512 is the base,

but unfortunately the price tag has also

increased uh to $1,100.

So a h 100red bucks more. And honestly,

I'm so happy about this because that

means anybody that goes into a store and

buys a MacBook Air is going to get an

excellent machine instead of one that

could be li limiting them very shortly.

And now let's talk about the MacBook

Pros. And this is where things get

really exciting and maybe a little bit

disappointing as well. Now, if you're

going to be buying a new MacBook, make

sure you get a nice and protective case

like the Defender A13 laptop sleeve from

our sponsor TomTalk, which features

their corner armor design and high

resilience edges to protect it from

dings and scuffs with a super soft

microfiber lining and zip-up design to

keep your laptop safe and sound, as well

as a pocket for your charger and

accessories. It's water resistant, fits

in a backpack, and comes in a variety of

colors. So, get yours today with the

link below. Now, the first thing I

didn't expect with the M5 MacBook Pros

is that Apple's discontinuing the one

that just launched in October.

Yes, that is right. Uh, they don't want

to sell one that has 512 GB of storage

anymore. So, if you want one of those,

go to Amazon right now. It's 150 bucks

off until it's no longer there. Now, the

cheapest one costs $1,700

and it comes with one terabyte. Uh, no,

Apple's not raising the price for the

same configuration, but they are forcing

you to spend more money. You get more

storage, but you do have to pay for it.

Apple made some dramatic claims with

their short promo video. uh something

that sounds kind of crazy and if you

look into the fine print the eight times

faster AI performance is compared to the

M1. So Apple is even agreeing a lot of

people still have an M1. Now just like

the M5 chips they have a neural

accelerator built into each GPU core.

And with these chips, especially the

Maxes, there are a ton of cores. On the

M5 Pro, we're going from a base of 12

core CPU up to a 15. And from 16 GPU

cores, that is staying the same. But

then if we take a look at the upgraded

ones, well, you could have a 14 core.

Now it's an 18 core CPU. And here we're

going back to the super cores, right?

Before we had 10 performance cores for

efficiency. Now we have six super cores

and 12 performance cores. Now, the

interesting thing is with these cores, a

lot of it is kind of marketing. The new

super core is literally the performance

core that launched in the M5, just

renamed. That's it. It's the same

performance core. Now, the performance

cores that are labeled here, 12 of them,

those are brand new cores. They're not

as powerful as the performance cores

that launched with the M5, but they have

been improved to have better performance

than the efficiency cores, but also be

pretty efficient. So, we no longer have

specific efficiency cores like you do

with the base M5 chip, but on the Pro

chip, you have better versions of those

pretty much. So, it makes it sound a lot

better, but it also makes sense because

now that they have three different kind

of cores, they need to be able to

differentiate between them. So, let me

know your thoughts on that down below.

Now, as I mentioned, we still have 20

GPU cores, but you actually get up to

four times higher peak performance in

the GPU if you can make use of those new

neural accelerators that are built into

each core. You guys can see the massive

difference over here. Compared to the

M1, the bump wasn't that big. 1.8x. Now,

look at this jump right here. Now let's

just quickly go through. You see massive

increases here. Uh 3D rendering that one

is close to double over here. A lot of

AI based stuff. So I hope that uh you

use that if you need this. Now as far as

gaming performance here, it's not as

big, but it is still impressive. And as

we go on, coding even smaller of a

difference. And with this new setup,

overall the CPU is seeing boosts above

about 30% in terms of multi-core

performance. I mean, that is really,

really impressive. And in terms of the

graphics, 35% if you're using ray

tracing. And that is both for the M4

compared to the M4 Pro and for the Max.

The memory bandwidth has a nice

improvement here as well. And with their

latest N1 chip, we have updated

connectivity for all these new MacBook.

And lastly, the SSD storage is up to

twice as fast. So, even though they're

forcing you to buy more of it, that is

nice to have that improvement as well.

So, let me know what you think about the

M5 Pro. And now, let's focus on the Max.

You can now get an 18 core CPU with a 40

core GPU. Uh, previously we had two less

cores um, just like the with the M5 Pro.

And of course, we no longer have the old

efficiency cores. We have the new

performance cores, which is a blend, and

six super cores, which came out with the

standard M5. U, now GPU cores are the

same, but now we have those accelerators

built into it and up to 614 GB of memory

bandwidth. That is awesome. Now, of

course, a high-end GPU uh on a desktop

PC can have faster memory bandwidth, but

that's locked in the small amount. Here,

you can get up to 128 gigs of RAM.

That's going to cost you $1,000 extra to

upgrade to that. And of course, it's all

unified. So, all of it is that speed,

which can actually really help people

that are running different models and

certain tasks. Now, some people wanted

more RAM. Apple did not give it to us.

It's still that same amount. And once

again, Apple's really focusing on their

AI and LLM performance here. Um, that is

their biggest thing. So, image

generation. Look at that difference

compared to the M4 Max. Uh, massive

chart. LMS as well. I mean, massive

improvements. Now, how many of you guys

do things like that? I want to know your

opinions. We did get down to 3D

rendering. Not as big as a improvement

right there. um D vinci resolve for

render performance. Of course, that's

going to be using tasks that really can

use those accelerators. And then code

compiling, look at that. Very, very

small difference there. And then gaming,

a little bit more of a difference, but

that's with ray tracing enabled. And I

don't know how many people use that. So,

with the M5 Max overall, you get about a

15% improvement in CPU performance,

about a 20% improvement in overall

graphics, and up to 30 if you're going

to be using uh ray tracing there. Uh not

as impressive as an upgrade as you get

with the M5 Pro. Um that one had a

bigger boost in just raw CPU

performance. Um other than that, the

machines are pretty much the same. What

are your guys' thoughts? We don't have

any physical differences. We're waiting

for tandem OLED models and redesigns.

Uh, but there we have it. Apple dropped

all of that. Now, along with that, we

had this drop and Apple accidentally

leaked the MacBook Neo and then after

some articles are put out, it got taken

down. I don't know if this is an

accident, honestly. Um, I think it's

just to build up the hype for tomorrow

for their budget laptop that we have

been talking about. And lastly, Apple

dropped the Studio Display XDR. I'll

cover this very briefly. We've been

waiting for this thing for a while. Uh,

positives are the price tag is a lot

lower than the Pro Display XDR, 3,300

bucks. It comes with the stand already,

and the specs are pretty dang good. It's

a 5K display, no longer 6K, 2,000 nits

of peak brightness. You have a lot of

zones, 120 hertz. That is awesome. It's

using Thunderbolt 5, but we do not have

a 32 in display anymore. Apple

discontinued that. That was the one that

was five grand, another,000 for the

stand. Um, and so if you like a 32-in

size, well, you're out of luck. Um, now

they also upgraded the studio display.

Pretty much put in Thunderbolt 5 in

there. It's the same display panel, very

old tech, still expensive at $1,600.

Uh, but if you want the latest

connectivity, that is there. Um, so

honestly, I wish they gave us a 32-in

option. Maybe it's just too expensive.

Somebody mentioned that if you want to

use two displays, it would not work with

6K at 120 Hz, even with Thunderbolt 5.

Uh, but it's going to be a lot more

accessible, and I think it will sell

better than the previous one. So, you

guys let me know your thoughts with this

new launch. Of course, we're going to be

making a lot more videos, some more more

in-depth tests, some real world

comparisons. Make sure you guys are

subscribed. Check out one of those

videos right over there. This has been

Knox, and I'll see you in the next one.
