Apple's upcoming M5 chip for the iPad Pro has been spotted on GeekBench, achieving a single-threaded score of 4,133, surpassing all stock-clocked CPU scores. The chip features nine cores, 12 GB of RAM, and is likely for the 2025 iPad Pro revision. Compared to the M4 Max in the Mac Studio, the M5 matches single-threaded performance but lags in multi-threaded tasks. Apple's chip design prowess is evident, with the M5 outperforming even high-end desktop chips in single-threaded performance. The M5's impressive benchmarks hint at the potential for future iterations like the M5 Max.

Upgrade Soon: Intel-based Macs and Apps Are On Their Way Out

Apple has announced that macOS 26 will be the last version to support Intel-based Macs, with macOS 27 onwards running only on Macs with Apple silicon. Intel-based Macs will continue to receive security updates for two years after macOS 26, becoming security-viable until 2028. Rosetta 2 will support Intel-based apps through macOS 27, with a subset of functionality aimed at older gaming titles. Apple recommends upgrading to Macs with Apple silicon due to their superior performance and the eventual obsolescence of Intel-based apps. Waiting to upgrade may lead to compatibility issues and decreased support over time.
