Apple's M5 Pro and M5 Max pack 18 CPU cores, up to 40 GPU cores, and faster unified memory

Fusion multi-die packaging and per-core neural accelerators target AI and graphics performance
Highly anticipated: Apple this week unveiled new MacBook Pro laptops powered by its latest M5 Pro and M5 Max processors, chips the company says deliver "the world's fastest CPU cores." The new SoCs also introduce next-generation GPUs with a neural accelerator embedded in each core, designed to boost on-device AI workloads.

AMD is selling $60 billion worth of GPUs – and a piece of itself – to Meta

Any lingering hope for affordable gaming GPUs just took another hit
Editor's take: AMD and Meta have joined the growing circus of reciprocal deals Big Tech is using to bootstrap what it hopes will become a self-sustaining "AI economy." Under a new multi-year agreement, the two companies will closely align their technology roadmaps – though AMD's role comes with strings attached, including hitting specific performance targets in the stock market.

Startup claims light-based chip could deliver 10x Nvidia's performance at similar power

First look: Light, not silicon, may define the next leap in computing power. That's the bet Austin-based startup Neurophos is making as it challenges the idea that Moore's Law still governs the pace of performance progress. The company is developing a photonics-driven processor designed to do what decades of transistor scaling can no longer achieve: massive compute throughput without a proportional explosion in energy use.
