Why Microsoft should be worried about M5 MacBooks

Apple’s Mac Minis have become the darlings for running local AI. Apple’s latest MacBook Pros with its new Apple M5 Pro and Apple M5 Max chips could bewitch developers even further.

Apple debuted its new MacBook Pros this week, combining a pair of 3-nm CPU dies with an interconnect between the two. Macworld’s Jason Cross noted that the dual-die design isn’t new; AMD processors like the Ryzen 9 5950X or the 7950X3D use a pair of chiplets connected with its Infinity Fabric interconnect.
