Early reports indicate these processors will deploy tech similar to what's being used by other AI chip makers.
What processors will be running the Apple bargains we'll be seeking to purchase on Cyber Monday 2025? Presumably, Apple's M5 chips will be inside some of them, with work already under way on the next amazing Apple Silicon processor.
Apple has requested that TSMC begin production/development of M5 chips with the aim of beginning production in late 2025, The Elec claims, supporting speculation from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. (We saw similar claims to this effect from Trendforce earlier this year, when trial production allegedly began.)
These new processors will maintain the impressive legacy Apple how has with its own silicon; expect faster 3nm processors with even better GPUs, artificial intelligence (AI) support, and impressively low energy requirements. If the reports are correct, this will be the third year running in which Apple has deployed 3nm chips, though this isn't a bad thing -- the company has decided to apply a little TSMC chip magic to push next year's big performance gains.
