Apple intends to release three advanced versions of its M5 processor during the first half of 2026, according to a report from Bloomberg. The M5 Pro and M5 Max chips will power updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, while the M5 Ultra will be designed specifically for a refreshed Mac Studio. The company may introduce a new design approach for the M5 Pro and M5 Max that separates CPU and GPU components, potentially allowing users to customize core configurations based on their computing requirements.

Additional hardware launches planned for 2026 include an M5 MacBook Air in the first half of the year, followed by M5 and M5 Pro Mac mini models at midyear alongside the Mac Studio updates. Apple reportedly plans to debut its M6 chip and a new entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro later in 2026. The base M5 chip has already demonstrated performance comparable to the earlier M1 Ultra in benchmark testing despite maintaining the same 10-core CPU and GPU configuration as its M4 predecessor.
