➀ Apple has begun mass production of the next-generation M5 processor for desktops, laptops, and high-performance tablets.

➁ The new SoC is expected to use a performance-enhanced N3P manufacturing process.

➂ The M5 series is rumored to include M5, M5 Pro, M5 Max, and M5 Ultra processors.

➃ The M5 processors will use organic substrates with 'flavor enhancer ABF film' to increase interconnect density and reduce SoC packaging thickness.

➄ High-end M5 Pro, Max, and Ultra versions will use mixed bonding and 2.5D packaging technology.

➅ The SoC will use TSMC's N3P manufacturing technology, which allows for a 4% performance increase or a 9% power consumption decrease at the same clock speed.

➆ Apple's M5 chips are expected to offer significant performance advantages over the M4 CPUp>

➀ Apple has reportedly canceled plans to develop advanced AR glasses that would have connected to iPhones and Macs.
