It’s built using third-gen 3nm technology, and its CPU apparently features “the world’s fastest performance core”. The CPU itself has up to 10 cores, of which four are performance cores and six are efficiency cores. Together, they deliver up to 15% better multithreaded performance compared to the M4.

The M5 also has an almost…
