After all, most of these tests are CPU dependent! Sometimes the M5 Pro (20c-GPU) has similar or better results than the M5 Max (40c-GPU)

Do you guys plan to review MacBook Pro 14 with M5 Pro entry (15/16 cores)?

M4 Pro entry version was already louder than M3 Pro entry in relatively simple use like photo editing in Lightroom Classic. I guess M5 will be even louder. And that was without visible performance gain over the Air. I mean editing processes, not import or export.

"Apple's MacBook Pro models are very good multimedia laptops"

Ok.

"and they are also very popular amongst content creators."

If you do not just want to express your first statement twice by meaning "very popular amongst multimedia content creators" but if you want to express "also very popular amongst content creators when using non-multimedia applications, where is the evidence for this, can't the same be said for x64 notebooks so is there any relevance for such a statement other than NBC's usual Apple PR?

Quote from: dada_dave on Today at 00:24:10As for this article, I'm not too familiar with Puget bench results in general, but what's going with the Lightroom Class Standard vs Extended tests? In the Extended test, all 3 M5 Max/Pro devices are roughly equivalent to each other, but in the Standard Test both Max SOCs are significantly lower than the Pro SOC, even the Max which is also in the 16" chassis. Any thoughts as to what is going on there? The M5 Pro is like >=20% better here and it can't be throttling, I would think, since even the 16" Max struggles.

Hmmmm ... you know that M5 Pro LR Class Standard score is 20% higher than the M5 Max 16" Standard score but is well inline with the LR Class Extended Scores from all the M5 Pro/Maxes, only 2.5% higher than those. Is it possible that you ran the Extended benchmark twice on the M5 Pro? Just an idea.

Quote from: Andreas Osthoff on March 12, 2026, 17:16:54Thanks for the note with the power draw, I will add them later in the other three reviews!

We will get the MacBook Pro 16 M5 Max tomorrow and I will start testing immediately.

Hi Andreas,

I know you're working on other articles and the bigger M5 Max review, but just as a reminder you also wanted to add CB R24 external monitor power data to the 13" and 15" Air and 16" M5 Pro articles.

MacBook's are very popular among content creators and the two new SoCs M5 Pro as well as M5 Max manage excellent results in the PugetBench tests for Adobe apps and DaVinci Resolve. They also clearly beat the mobile GeForce RTX 5090.
