M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro lineup arrives with promising performance improvements and twice the base storage

Apple has officially launched the 14" and 16" MacBook Pro lineups powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max SoCs. With up to an 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 128 GB memory and twice the storage for the base variants, Apple's high-end MacBook Pro lineup has finally caught up to the M5 generation.

It's amazing how this site refuses to talk about memory bandwidth, one of the key advantages for Macs and Strix Halo.

There appears to be a mistake both in this and your other article on the M5 Pro/Max regarding the new Super and Performance cores:

The old Performance cores are indeed rebranded as Super cores, but the new Performance cores are NOT the same as the old Efficiency cores. Rather they represent a new middle core design.

So under the new nomenclature the A19 has 2 S-cores and 4 E-cores, the base M5 has 4 S-cores and 6 E-cores, while the M5 Pro/Max has up to 6 S-cores and 12 P-cores.
