"The 2026 MacBook Air now gets the Apple M5 chip, which was first introduced last year on the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iPad Pro. This chip features the same 10-core CPU and 8- or 10-core GPU configuration as the previous M4, but all the cores are now faster, with the GPU also incorporating a neural accelerator in each core."
"Other changes include upgraded connectivity in the form of Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, as well as a faster bundled charger in the form of the awkwardly named '40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max', which replaces the previous 30W and 35W models. The only other change you need to consider is the $100 increase in price."
"The M5 Pro and M5 Pro Max are built on what Apple calls its Fusion Architecture, where two dies are combined to create a single SoC with a high core count. They have up to 6 high-performance cores called super cores, and up to 12 new performance cores. The GPU count varies between 16, 20, 32, and 40 cores."
Apple introduced updated MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models featuring the new M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max processors. The MacBook Air now includes the M5 chip with faster cores and a neural accelerator in each GPU core, maintaining the 10-core CPU and 8- or 10-core GPU configuration. Base storage doubled from 256GB to 512GB with options up to 4TB, while memory remains at 16GB base and 32GB maximum. Connectivity upgrades include Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, plus a faster 40W Dynamic Power Adapter. Prices increased by $100, with the 13-inch starting at $1099 and 15-inch at $1299. MacBook Pro models feature the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips built on Fusion Architecture, combining two dies for higher core counts with up to 6 super cores and 12 performance cores.
